Halmstad University consists of four interdisciplinary Schools and the current position is located at the School of Information Technology (ITE). ITE is a multicultural school with around 130 employees from 20 different countries. It is a strong research and education environment, with focus on smart technology and its applications. Students and researchers are working with everything from AI and information driven care to autonomous vehicles, embedded systems, social robotics and digital design. ITE offers education on all levels, from undergraduate to PhD education, plus education for professionals. Research is conducted within aware intelligent systems, smart electronic systems, cyber physical systems and digital service innovation. These four areas constitute the four technology areas of ITE. An innovation center for information-driven care called Leap for Life is connected to ITE, as well as a collaboration arena for electronics development, the Electronics Centre in Halmstad (ECH). Research in physics is primarily done in nanoscience and semiconductor device technology and carried out in the Rydberg Laboratory. The physics research group is affiliated at Sweden 's largest research environment for nanoscience, NanoLund (

Description
The main duties are research studies and third cycle courses. The work duties can also include teaching and other departmental duties up to 20%.
The focus of the current collaborative PhD project is design, processing and electrical/optical characterization of novel state-of-the art photodetectors and related brain-inspired optical synapses. The devices are based on single- or large arrays (millions) of complex needle-like semiconductor structures called nanowires.
This is a full-time position available from June 1st, 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter), for a period of four years to a PhD degree (annually extended with one year, subject to satisfactory progress of the PhD study). Since the employment also includes teaching responsibilities corresponding to a maximum of 20% of full-time, the position is extended with the same amount of time as the teaching activities.
The selected PhD student will be responsible for conducting research within the project and for participating in the required PhD course activities. The PhD student will work in an environment of international researchers with diverse backgrounds.
The selected PhD student will get a doctoral degree from Lund University.
Qualifications
The suitable candidate has a Master 's degree in physics, engineering physics, engineering nanoscience or electrical engineering.
Selection to postgraduate studies is based on the expected ability to perform well in the PhD studies.
Only those who are or have been admitted to third-cycle courses and study programs at a higher education may be appointed to doctoral studentships. (The Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 5 Section 3). The student's ability to benefit from doctoral studies will be taken into account when we make the appointment. (The Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 5 Section 5).
The evaluation of the ability is based primarily on the results of studies at the basic and advanced levels, in particular:
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• Knowledge and skills relevant to the thesis project and the subject of the study.
• An assessment of ability to work independently and to formulate and tackle research problems.
• Written and oral communication skills
• Other experience relevant to postgraduate studies, such as professional experience.
Other merits:
• Being able to quickly assimilate new techniques and knowledge is an advantage.
• Undergraduate degrees should include courses in solid state physics, semiconductor physics, optoelectronics and nanoscience.
• A good ability to work in a laboratory is essential and experience of relevant experimental work such as clean room processing, material and component analysis, and microscopy is meritorious.
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant, through his or her experience and skills, is deemed to have the abilities necessary for successfully completing the third-cycle program.
Salary
PhD students are employees at the University and paid a salary according to a uniform salary scale, adjusted in relation to the progress in education.
The position includes studies up to a doctoral degree and is annually extended in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance Chapter 5, §7. The total employment period is four years but may be extended to a maximum of five years if the student performs 20% teaching or other tasks within the university.
Application
Applications should be sent via Halmstad University's recruitment system Varbi (see link on this page).
