Job Description
Postdoctoral Research Associate
9323BR
Kate Gleason College of Engineering
KGCOE Semiconductor Microsystems Fabrication Laboratory
Job Summary
The primary responsibilities of this Postdoctoral Research Associate will include conducting scientific research, analyzing results, and reporting on findings associated with two current federal projects and the RIT III-V EpiCenter. The candidate will be asked to develop technical reports for sponsors in addition to publications and presentations in peer-reviewed journals. This position will be responsible to conduct work involving epitaxial growth, device fabrication and testing of various photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. This will include training students and discussing technical findings of their research.
Job Responsibilities:
• Research and development of compound semiconductor based photovoltaic devices containing quantum well nanostructures. This will entail leading the epitaxial design and growth as well as directly supervising students and staff with device level fabrication and both materials and electrical characterization. The postdoctoral fellow will also be responsible to develop plans and schedules to accomplish this Air Force funded project's goals/objectives.
• Research and development of compound semiconductor based thermoradiative diodes and cells. This will entail leading the epitaxial design and growth as well as directly supervising students and staff with device level fabrication and both materials and electrical characterization. The postdoctoral fellow will also be responsible to develop plans and schedules to accomplish this NASA funded project's goals/objectives.
• Manage various customer funded projects under the RIT III-V EpiCenter in the SNL cleanroom. This will include coordination of the project-specific experiments related to the Aixtron metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) reactor as well as leveraging materials and device characterization capabilities. Interface with EpiCenter customers at RIT and outside institutions to develop growth plans and potential collaborative activities. This responsibility may also include the maintenance of the MOVPE reactor, requiring SCBA use.
• Contribution of technical sections to PI developed proposals, writing research reports, journal publications and presentations at national meetings such as PVSC, MRS and SPIE Photonics West
• Other duties as assigned
Required Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics or a related field
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience with fabrication, testing and simulation of photovoltaics and optoelectronic devices
• Project management and team leadership skills
• Excellent knowledge and prior experience in epitaxial growth of III-V materials
