Universitaet Dresden is ranked number one in electrical
engineering in Germany. Located along the picturesque Elbe
River, Dresden is a very attractive city with impressive baroque
centre. Dresden is the largest microelectronic centre in Europe.
Starting from February 2012, the Faculty of Electrical and
Computer Engineering, Institute of Principles of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, Chair of Circuit Design and Network
Theory, a position for up to 3,5 years (the period of employment
is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act
(Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG)) as
Member of academic staff, PhD student or Postdoc (E 13 TV-L)
in circuit design
on organic, flexible, roll-to-roll-printed & plastic-based
semiconductor technologies
The position is in the frame of the FLEXIBILITY (Flexible
Multifunctional Bendable Integrated Light-Weight Ultra-Thin
Systems) project funded by the EU involving 7 industry partners
and 4 research institutions. PhD students will find excellence
prerequisites for an innovative PhD thesis. The first wireless
communication receiver fully integrated in a piece of plastic
foil (without the need for a silicon chip) will be developed.
The project is coordinated by our chair and provides an
excellent platform for interdisciplinary cooperation with
industry partners.
Tasks: Design (analyses, simulation, device modelling, layout,
testing and documentation) of circuits and systems operating up
to radio frequencies in novel OLAE (Organic and Large Area
Electronics) and roll-to-toll printed technologies for wireless
communications. The authoring of scientific publications and the
participation at project meetings and international conferences
are expected. The active involvement in project management is
planned for postdocs.
Requirements: Excellent to good master, Dipl.-Ing. or PhD degree
in microelectronics, electrical engineering, physics or
chemistry. Knowledge in circuit design, independent and flexible
working attitude, innovative and analytical thinking, strong
commitment, communicative team-player, good English. Knowledge
in the following areas is advantageous: Integrated circuit
design, OLAE, device modelling, high frequency engineering,
communications and semiconductor technologies, measurement
techniques, German language.
Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same
applies to the disabled. Interested candidates are requested to
submit concise application material including CV and copy of
certificates until November 17, 2011 (stamped arrival date of
the university central mail service applies) in pdf format to
