JOB DESCRIPTION
At the Terahertz and Millimetre Wave Laboratory we conduct research on new materials, devices and circuits for applications in the microwave, millimetre wave and terahertz frequency region. This is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum (0.1-10 THz) where optical and microwave techniques meet. We fabricate novel devices in our state-of-the-art Nanofabrication facility at MC2 and evaluate these in various circuit demonstrators in our top-class microwave and terahertz characterisation facilities.
Our research finds applications in radio astronomy, atmospheric science, life science, radar sensors, THz-imaging systems, and future wireless communication systems.
Major responsibilities:
Your research will be directed towards developing graphene based devices and circuits for use in high frequency electronics (1 – 3000 GHz). The research also includes exploring new device concepts for detection, amplification and generation at terahertz frequencies.
Your major responsibilities as a PhD student are to pursue your own doctoral studies. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing, both in Swedish and in English. The position generally also includes teaching on Chalmers' undergraduate level or performing other duties corresponding to 20 per cent of working hours.
Position summary:
Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.

DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Qualifications:
To qualify as a PhD student, you must have a master's level degree corresponding to at least 240 higher education credits in Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering with a curriculum that provides a good foundation for research in nanoelectronics and/or microwave engineering.
You should have good communication skills, good analytical and experimental skills and good ability to work independently towards the goals expressed in the project plans.
Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.
