The Institute of High Pressure Physics PAS is offering a postdoctoral position for 24 months within the research project:

“Monolithic integration of multicolor micro- and nano-LED arrays”

The project aims to develop a novel technology for fabrication of monolithically integrated, addressable micro- and nano-LED arrays emitting visible light. The approach is based on molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) of (Al,In)GaN structures combined with advanced semiconductor processing techniques .

The developed technology will enable new classes of optoelectronic devices with applications in:

• high-resolution displays,
• Li-Fi optical communication,
• augmented and virtual reality systems,
• optogenetics and super-resolution microscopy .

The project is carried out in collaboration with leading international academic partners and an industrial partner.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct research on GaN/InGaN-based micro- and nano-LED structures
• Perform epitaxial growth using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
• Design and optimize LED structures and tunnel junctions
• Participate in semiconductor
• Perform optical and electrical characterization of devices
• Publish research results in peer-reviewed journals
• Present results at international conferences
• Collaborate with international and industrial partners

Benefits

• Employment in a high-impact, innovative research project
• Access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure (MBE systems, cleanroom facilities)
• Collaboration with leading international research groups
• Opportunities for career development and international mobility
• Competitive salary of 13000-14000 PLN (gross), which after taxes is 9000-10000 PLN (net)
• Work environment based on equal opportunity and non-discrimination principles

Required documents

• Curriculum Vitae (including publication list)
• Motivation letter
• Copy of PhD diploma
• Two reference letters
