PhD Position in MSCA Doctoral Network HINA on Hybrid Integration of Alkaline Niobate-Tantalate Films

The University of Franche-Comté, through the FEMTO-ST Institute, is offering a PhD position as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network HINA project. The successful candidate will focus on the hybrid integration of alkaline niobate-tantalate thin films ((K,Na)(Nb,Ta)O3 or KNTN) for advanced semiconductor photonics and acoustic platforms. The research follows a multidisciplinary bottom-up approach linking molecule synthesis, materials fabrication, characterization, and device modeling. The doctoral candidate will participate in a collaborative European consortium bridging academic research groups and industrial partners.

• Conduct doctoral research on the hybrid integration of alkaline niobate-tantalate thin films for photonic and acoustic devices.
• Apply a multidisciplinary approach encompassing materials synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and device modeling.
• Collaborate with academic and industrial partners within the HINA consortium across Europe.
• Publish research findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals and present results at international conferences.
• Participate in network-wide training events, workshops, and secondments at partner institutions.
