Post-doctoral positions in Nanoelectronics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The Department of Electrical and Information Technology (EIT) at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering (LTH), is one of the largest departments with about 120 employees and conducts research and teaching mainly in electrical engineering and computer technology. We are located on LTH's campus in northern Lund.

Subject description
The subject is Nanoelectronics and III-V Devices including Ferroelectrics. Within Nanoelectronics we develop and study new generations of electronics based on semiconductor technology. In particular, we develop and characterize new generations of RF-electronics based on III-V nanowire MOSFETs to be used as amplifiers and switches.

We will expand our activities with both industrial collaborations and exploratory research based on integration of ferroelectric materials on the RF-platform.

Work duties
The main duties involved in a post-doctoral position is to conduct research. Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours. The position shall include the opportunity for three weeks of training in higher education teaching and learning.

Description of the work duties, such as:

• Fabrication of high-performance MOSFETs in Lund NanoLab
• DC- and RF-Characterization of MOSFETs
• Circuit Design of Amplifiers and Detectors using III-V MOSFETs
• Supervision of degree projects and doctoral students
• Collaboration with industry
• Administration related to the work duties listed above

Qualification requirements
Appointment to a post-doctoral position requires that the applicant has a PhD, or an international degree deemed equivalent to a PhD, within the subject of the position, completed no more than three years before the last date for applications. Under special circumstances, the doctoral degree can have been completed earlier.

Additional requirements:

• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• Strong experience in III-V device technology
• Documented skills in circuit design
• Understanding of operation ferroelectric HfO2 materials
• Experience in device characterization at millimeter wave frequences

Assessment criteria and other qualifications
This is a career development position primarily focused on research. The position is intended as an initial step in a career, and the assessment of the applicants will primarily be based on their research qualifications and potential as researchers. Particular emphasis will be placed on research skills within the subject.

For appointments to a post-doctoral position, the following shall form the assessment criteria:

• A good ability to develop and conduct high quality research.
• Teaching skills.

Additional assessment criteria:

• Experience from interaction with industry

Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.

Terms of employment
This is a full-time, fixed-term employment of 2 years. The period of employment is determined in accordance with the agreement “Avtal om tidsbegränsad anställning som postdoktor” (“Agreement on fixed-term employment as a post-doctoral fellow”) between Lund University, SACO-S, OFR/S and SEKO, dated 4 September 2008.
