PhD (m,f,x) until 14.08.2029 (end of the – DFG Project – Matter and Light and Quantum Computation), 29,7825 hours per week, TVL E13
The Epitaxy section of Experimental Physics VI at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) is looking for motivated researchers to join our team.We are bridging the gap between fundamental solid-state physics and scalable quantum devices. Whether it's turning Quantum Dots (QDs) into transducers or building entangled photon clusters, our work starts with one thing: perfect crystals.
Investigating QDs as the interface between stationary and flying qubits.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany's leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is Ruhr-Universität Bochum's declared aim.
Your tasks:
- In this project, Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is our primary tool. You won't just be an observer; you will be an architect of matter. Your responsibilities will include:
- Designing and growing high-quality semiconductor heterostructures.
- Developing new epitaxial methods for strain-free and lattice-mismatched films.
- Characterizing your samples and interpreting complex data.
- Hands-on Engineering: Building, maintaining, and improving our established and state-of-the-art vacuum setups. If you enjoy 'getting your hands dirty' with high-end tech, you'll fit right in.
Your profile:
- You hold a Master's degree in (Solid-State) Physics or related engineering. You are eager to dive deep into a 3-year research journey.
- Skills: Experience in vacuum technology, epitaxy, or device processing is a big plus, but self-motivation and a 'problem-solver' mindset are mandatory.
- Communication: You are a team player who can collaborate with international top-tier research groups.
Scope: part-time
Duration: fixed-term, 36
Start: 15.08.2026
We offer:
- Collaboration in a committed and appreciative team
- Employment at one of the largest universities in Germany within the University Alliance Ruhr
- Challenging and varied tasks with a high level of independence
- A job in the heart of the lively Ruhr metropolitan region with its diverse cultural offerings
Further information:
The position is salaried and based on the collective agreement of the Länder (TV-L).If the personal and collective agreement requirements are met, the employee will receive pay grade E13 TV-L.

The place of work is Ruhr University Bochum.
If the position is funded by third-party funds the employee has no teaching obligation.
RUB sees itself as a university with an international presence. The campus languages are German and English. Competence in at least one of the two languages and the willingness to learn the other are a prerequisite. RUB provides corresponding free courses for employees.
German language courses are offered by the University Language Center (ZFA) in the field of German as a Foreign Language (DaF).https://www.daf.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/sbgk/index.html.en
The Staff Council has the right to participate in all selection interviews. At the request of a candidate (m/f/x), it will ensure its participation in the entire procedure.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
