Call for Applications
IHP has the pleasure to invite applications for the

International IHP Wolfgang Mehr “Semiconductor Quantum Device Design and Materials Characterization”

The International IHP „Wolfgang Mehr“ Fellowship Award is devoted to carry out in close collaboration with IHP research in the area of “Semiconductor Quantum Device Design and Materials Characterization”.
Following the spirit of IHP´s former Scientific Director Wolfgang Mehr, the annual fellowship award is focused on an innovative, interdisciplinary research topic with high potential for technology breakthroughs, giving a high degree of freedom to the award winner to work in an interdisciplinary environment with a
strong potential across several research areas.
The winner of the International IHP „Wolfgang Mehr“ Fellowship Award 2024 must enjoy an excellent international reputation and will receive the prize money of 12,500 €, honoring the award winner´s research achievements. The aim of the fellowship award is to realize at least one of the following strategic research targets in close collaboration with IHP:

• identify the potential of a novel research direction

• initiate a new and innovative research project

• intensify a successful research collaboration

The focus of the joint research activities should be on complementing IHP´s expertise on growth and structural characterization of SiGe heterostructures for quantum computing application. In particular, electric gated semiconductor spin as well as hybrid semiconductor-superconductor qubits are of interest.
Development and processing of related devices with innovative material concepts should be a long term perspective. Correspondingly, magnetotransport measurements at cryogenic temperatures will be a topic of investigation of mutual interest. A valuable addition would be to study spin-orbit interactions, heavyhole light-hole mixing, and/or proximity-induced superconductivity. A clear plan towards characterization of fabricated structures, including access to the required instrumentation and facilities is of particular importance, as well as the definition of possible funding for the long-term sustainability of the common activities.
IHP seeks to incorporate more women into the science field – therefore, women are strongly encouraged to apply.
We assume the selected fellow is able to stay at IHP for three months on a flexible time schedule in a timeframe of 12 months starting from the day of nomination. Accommodation and travel costs are to be covered from the prize money.

To be considered, applications should be submitted via our online application form. The following documents are required:

• Letter of motivation

• Project description: two pages including a time plan for a three-month fellowship stay at IHP

• Curriculum vitae

• Publication list

• Summary of the main scientific achievements in the field

For further information regarding the fellowship please contact Prof. Dr. Christian Wenger, Head of the Materials Research Department (wenger@ihp-microelectronics.com).
