At the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering the position of a is to be filled as soon as possible. This chair is part of the Cluster of Excellence Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) to support and enhance the academic excellence of the cfaed.
The holder of the position shall be capable of representing the specified area with high dedication in research as well as in education. A challenging, future-oriented research program that covers both foundational issues and applications is expected, including several of the following topics:

• Top-down fabrication and bottom-up synthesis of silicon and germanium nanowire materials with defined properties for electronic device applications. Further, co-integration of compound III-V semiconductors in silicon nanowires.
• Heterogeneous device integration of complex nanowire structures including defined interfaces and solid state reactions for contact formation.
• Design, fabrication and electrical characterisation of novel types of transistors with silicon and germanium nanowire materials with extended functionalities beyond conventional CMOS.
• Conception, realisation and characterisation of novel nanowire based circuit topologies exploiting device level reconfiguration of functions as well as between power consumption and performance.

The teaching responsibilities include courses in the area of emerging electronic devices and their related technologies for study tracks at the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as the supervision of student theses and PhD students. Furthermore, participation in introductory courses of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering and for other faculties as well support of the international Master program Nanoelectronic Systems is expected. The duties also include participation in self-administration and academic boards of the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering and of TU Dresden.
The successful candidate will be required to inspire our students as well as to conduct research that meets the highest standards of excellence contributing to the goals and visions of cfaed and to shape the profile of the Faculty in a future-oriented way. The candidate should agree with our philosophy to work in an interdisciplinary way, to build new relationships within TU Dresden and with external institutions, to work in partnership with industry, and to systematically foster new talents. Applicants must have a PhD in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, a post-doctoral degree („Habilitation“) or equivalent record of research and teaching experience, and extensive experience in acquiring third-party funding as well as project and group management. Experience in industrial research is beneficial. Special emphasis is put on high-quality international publications, strong international contacts, and independently acquired and successfully conducted research projects. Applicants must fulfil the employment qualification requirements of § 58 of the Act on the Autonomy of Institutions of Higher Education in the Free State of Saxony (Higher Education Act of the Free State of Saxony – SächsHSFG).
