About the position

MSCA Doctoral Network HINA - Hybrid INtegration of Alkaline niobate - tantalate films for advanced photonic and piezoelectric devices

Research Field: Chemistry » Molecular chemistry

Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1)

Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme?: Horizon Europe - MSCA

Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure?: No

The MSCA Doctoral Network HINA project proposes to consider the hybrid integration of alkaline niobate-tantalate thin films, (K,Na)(Nb,Ta)O3 (KNTN, materials with the highest known experimentally measured electro-optic, nonlinear, piezoelectric, elasto-optic coefficients) in photonic and acoustic devices for advanced semiconductor photonics platforms.

The HINA project links world-leading research groups at Academia and Industry to give a combined, integrated approach of synthesis/fabrication, characterization, modeling/theory linked to concepts for materials integration in devices and systems.

Doctoral Candidates (DCs) will focus on this common research objective, applying a multidisciplinary bottom-up approach, which can be summarized by: "engineered molecule- advanced material- designed device - smart system".

The HINA consortium partners recognise that engineering graduates face a rapidly changing work environment, with short product development times and life cycles, rapid evolution of knowledge, new methods of working, and, of course, new career paths and opportunities outside those of traditional PhD academia and research.

Project partners: University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté/FEMTO-ST Institute (coordinator, FR); INSTM/ University of Catania (IT), Czech Academy of Sciences (CZ), Université Paris Cité /MPQ (FR), Annealsys (FR), Université Lyon 1 Claude Bernard/CP2M (FR), Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (DE), Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik (DE), AIXACCT (DE), CNRS/C2N (FR), Technische Universitaet Muenchen (DE), Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (ES), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BE), PIEMACS (CH), LUMIPHASE (CH)

Research Field: Chemistry

Specific Requirements

Years of Research Experience: None

We offer 18 positions (1 position is still available, see below) with very competitive salaries in France (48.0 k€/year).

In the different Area of Knowledge of the HINA programme, a specific programme of specialisation, tailored on the needs of the chosen research field available at the different partner places, will be proposed to the PhD students and specified in their Personal Career Development Plan.

We will ensure co-ordinated provision of these key doctoral training elements that can best leverage on the international capabilities of the consortium, on its unique and complementary skills base reflecting both national and regional strengths and, on the on-going developments of new curriculum in the fields of materials, modelling, devices and systems for new telecommunication, computing, sensing (IoT & IoH) technologies.
