Our group has multiple opening for postdoctoral research fellow potentially leading to a research associate position to perform multidisciplinary research that explores new applications of nanomaterials, semiconductor materials and graphene enhanced semiconductor materials. The desired candidates have expertise related to micro-nanotechnologies, such as: nanomaterials, methods for material growth and epitaxy, CVD, MOCVD, MBE; experimental characterization of micro-nanosystems; nano and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS, MEMS); porous semiconductors and electrochemistry of semiconductors; physics, modelling and advanced design of nanostructures; integration of micro-nanosystems. Emerging areas are particularly sought for, including (but not limited to): Photovoltaics, Optoelectronics, Internet of Things (IoT) and information technology, energy, and photonics, and energy storage including Li-Ion batteries. The successful candidate will assist the Principal Investigator in the design, fabrication, characterization, and optimization of advanced materials and devices. The proposed research will involve material synthesis and characterization as well as device fabrication and testing by using the 3IT advanced nanofabrication and characterization facilities. The selected candidate will be responsible for:
- Material and device design, porous formation, epitaxy, fabrication, characterization, and optimizationDesign of experimental tests, and analysis of the resulting dataInteraction with industrial partners and research funding agencies
- Mentoring and training of graduate and undergraduate students
- Presenting scientific findings at group meetings and conferences
