Postdoc position in far-infrared semiconductor electronics
Chalmers tekniska högskola
- Göteborg
- Tillfälligt
- Heltid
- MC2 is a unique research environment in micro- and nanotechnology, housing more than 250 researchers and PhD students. The main research activities at the are on technologies with applications ranging from basic science to future sensors and communication systems. We are at the forefront of innovation in terahertz electronics, working on projects that push the boundaries of what is possible, aiming for the next generation of wireless systems, remote sensing and space terahertz instrumentation. You will be part of an inspiring and collaborative research environment and benefit from fruitful discussions with our industrial collaborators. The project aims to investigate and create a new framework for terahertz electronics for space-borne Earth observations and is partly supported by the Swedish and European Space Agencies.Major responsibilities
Your research will be directed toward advancing Schottky diodes and circuits for supra-terahertz frequency applications (2- 5 THz). It will be pursued at the Terahertz and Millimetre Wave Laboratory. You will fabricate demonstrators in our state-of-the-art and perform experiments in the terahertz characterisation facility ( ).Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.Qualifications
To qualify for this position, you must have a PhD in applied physics or electrical engineering with a curriculum that provides a solid foundation in microwave engineering and semiconductor technology.Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in nanolithography and in fabricating advanced semiconductor components;
- Familiarity with the characterisation of heterodyne receiver instrumentation;
- Experience in the design of waveguide and quasi-optical circuits (antenna integration).You should have good communication skills, the ability to work in an interdisciplinary group, good analytical and experimental skills, and an excellent ability to work independently toward the goals expressed in the project plans.Further, as the position involves collaboration between academic research groups and the industry, you must enjoy working in different environments and proactively participate in new research initiatives.To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must hold a doctoral degree awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service*.The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. Swedish is not a requirement but Chalmers offers Swedish courses.You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.
- The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree.
