Postdoc in optoelectronic materials - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

This is a two-year position in laser processing of materials. The research project is centered on the development of new methods to grow semiconductor crystals in restricted geometries without using molecular beam epitaxy. This research will have implications for the fabrication of high-speed electrical devices as well as a range of optoelectronics, and will be carried out in collaboration between KTH in Stockholm and NTNU in Trondheim. The candidate will spend some time in each location.

Confinement of the material inside a dielectric capsule together with laser processing has been demonstrated to allow recrystallization and modification of the local composition of semiconducting materials, and we will explore the extension of these recent results to different materials and geometries. The project will start with semiconductor-core fibers, and move to planar structures compatible with standard integrated circuits. 

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have outstanding experimental skills and a strong background in solid state materials, including, but not limited to, an understanding of phase diagrams, experience with semiconductor and optoelectronic device characterization. Experience with standard thin film deposition is expected. Familiarity with materials characterization techniques such as SEM/EDX, XPS, Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence are desirable. The candidate should be ambitious but collaborative, organized and self-motivated, capable of working alone as well as in a fast-paced group atmosphere. The candidate must have received the PhD within the last three years.
