Job description: Offer DescriptionAssistant Professorship (all genders) – Tenure TrackComputational NanoelectronicsTU Wien is Austria’s largest institution of research and higher education in the fields of technology and natural sciences. With over 26,000 students and more than 4000 scientists, research, teaching, and learning dedicated to the advancement of science and technology have been conducted here for more than 200 years, guided by the motto “Technology for People”. As a driver of innovation, TU Wien fosters close collaboration with business and industry and contributes to the prosperity of society.At the Institute for Microelectronics of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, TU Wien is offering the following tenure track position for 40 hours/week. Expected start: July 2025.The post is provisionally fixed term for six years and will be converted into a permanent associate professorship subject to positive tenure evaluation according to a standardized process (tenure track with qualification agreement).The tenure-track position is affiliated with the Institute for Microelectronics. Duties include research and teaching in the field of computational modelling and simulation in nanoelectronics, with a specialization in ab-initio and multiscale modelling.The focus of research should be on:

• Quantum-mechanical modelling of defects in semiconductor devices
• Development and implementation of computational models for device simulation (including compact models and models for technology computer-aided design (TCAD) applications)
• Investigation of reliability aspects in silicon and 2D technologies
• Atomistic modelling of processes using molecular dynamics simulations
• Multiscale simulation of quantum transport in nanoelectronic devices

Tasks:Research:

• Quantum-mechanical defect and reliability modeling for nanoelectronic devices based on density functional theory and related quantum-mechanical methods
• Development of atomistic process models using molecular dynamics and machine-learned potentials for the virtual optimization of oxidation, thin film deposition, and other fabrication steps
• Ballistic and diffusive transport modeling in nanoelectronic devices based on atomistic models and Monte Carlo algorithms
• Development and validation of TCAD and compact models from atomistic simulation results within a multiscale workflow to address practical challenges in the semiconductor industry

Teaching:

• The tenure track position is intended to cover the theoretical foundations of electrodynamics within the Bachelor’s program in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. It is emphasized that currently, the teaching in the Bachelor’s curriculum is in the German language, requiring excellent language skills

• Involvement in commissions and committees at the TU Wien
• Establishment and management of an own research group
• Acquisition of third-party funds through research projects

Your profile:

• A domestic or equivalent foreign university degree with a doctorate appropriate to the position (preferably in electrical engineering, technical physics, or a related field)
• Excellent German and English language skills
• Proven expertise in the theoretical modelling of materials, defects, and semiconductor devices
• Documented research achievements, including international peer-reviewed publications in one or more of the research areas mentioned above
• Junior scientist with a doctorate completed within the past 5 years
• Relevant experience in academic teaching, particularly in the field of electrodynamics, and in the supervision and co-supervision of academic final theses
• Experience in conducting research projects, as well as the willingness to lead research groups, willingness to acquire third-party funding
• Experience in collaboration with the semiconductor industry is desirable
• Experience abroad in the context of research stays is desirable

We offer:

• A wide variety and exciting range of tasks
• Broad and dynamic scientific environment
• Wide range of internal and external training opportunities
• Flexible working hours
• Central location of workplace as well as good accessibility (U1/U4 Karlsplatz)
• A range of attractive social benefits (see
