Apply now! In less than 10 minutes. Enabler for smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips.

Work where the morning arises.

What can't be missing from a smartphone? Exactly, the microchip – the heart of any electronically controlled system. About 80 percent of all microchips worldwide are manufactured using ZEISS technologies. ZEISS is a technology leader in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With high-precision lithography optics, photomask systems and solutions for process control, ZEISS enables the production of increasingly smaller, more powerful and more energy-efficient microchips – and thus decisively shapes the age of microelectronics and nanoelectronics with its innovations. In your role as a doctoral student for numerical modeling, you will develop or develop your own or existing approaches to the fast approximate solution of Maxwell equations in microstructured optics. Important aspects are: to develop a better understanding of polarization effects on microstructures,

comparing your solution with existing theoretical and numerical models,
