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 as soon as possible and not later than February 2013, the
Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chair of Circuit
Design and Network Theory offers subject to granted funds a position
for up to 2 years (extensions planned) as
Member of academic staff, PhD student or Postdoc
in integrated circuit design
The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research
Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz WissZeitVG). PhD
students will find excellence resources and subjects for innovative
PhD theses. Post-docs have the possibility to manage large and
renowned research projects. The position provides an excellent
platform for interdisciplinary cooperation with industry partners.
Tasks: Design (analyses, simulation, layout, testing and
documentation) of analogue and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Focus
is on phase-locked-loops, synthesizers and clock-data-recovery
circuits operating up to 20 GHz. These ICs must be adaptive regarding
performance versus power consumption to massively save energy, e.g.
when the system needs less data rates. Applications are for wireless
and optical communications. The latest silicon IC technologies are
applied. 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 or physics. 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 and analogue circuit design, high frequency engineering,
signal and control theory, communications and semiconductor
technologies, as well as measurement techniques.
Applications from women are particularly welcome. The same applies to
disabled people. Interested candidates are requested to submit concise
application material including CV and copy of transcripts until
October 4, 2012 (stamped arrival date of the university central mail
service applies) preferred per email in pdf format to
Frank.Ellinger@tu-dresden.de (please note: We are currently not able
to receive electronically signed and encrypted data) or TU Dresden,
Fakultaet Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik, Professur fuer
Schaltungstechnik und Netzwerktheorie, Herrn Prof. Frank Ellinger,
01062 Dresden.
The quality of life in the Dresden region is unequalled in Europe.
