Post-doctoral position in development of low-cost CMOS compatible intersubband optoelectronicsICFO is offering up to two postdoctoral positions to well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientists who wish to enhance their scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.TheFunctional Optoelectronic NanoMaterialsgroup at ICFO, led byICREA Prof. Gerasimos Konstantatos, is looking for outstanding, creative and highly motivated researchers to develop highly performant, CMOS compatible, infrared colloidal quantum dot photodetectors and light emitters exploiting intersubband transitions.The project focuses on the mid and long wave infrared employing colloidal quantum dot films engineered at the atomic as well as at the supra-nanocrystalline level to address applications related to safety and security, remote sensing, environmental monitoring, thermal imaging, etc.Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) inMaterial Science, Physics or Electrical Engineering, prior to taking up the position.The candidates should have demonstrated experience and hands-on expertise in the fabrication, characterization, and optimization of optoelectronic devices for photodetection and light emission based on intersubband transitions.
Expertise in the infrared, particularly in the mid and long wave infrared, would be considered a plus.
The fellow should have a strong background in the physics of intersubband transitions in quantum confined materials and devices and be proficient in the preparation of setups for the optical and electronic characterization of devices in this wavelength regime.
Knowledge and experience in charge transport studies, low noise techniques, and/or optical instrumentation in the mid and long wave infrared would be considered a plus.
Direct demonstrated expertise in colloidal quantum dot optoelectronics, while not required, will be positively evaluated.The position is available immediately and is available for 3 years, renewable on an annual basis depending on the performance of the incumbent and the progress of the project.Salaries for ICFO Postdoctoral positions are assigned by the Selection Committee, based on experience and seniority of the applicant, as well as the assigned tasks and responsibilities within the group.
Standard salaries range from a lower level aligned with national Ramon-y-Cajal fellowships to higher levels aligned with Marie Sklodowska-Curie individual fellowships.How to applySuitable candidates are requested to submit:A Cover/Presentation letter with a declaration of interest outlining past research achievements and a description of future research aspirations,A Curriculum Vitae with research publications, as well as your contact details,The contact e-mail of two potential referees, who will be contacted for their reference letters if necessary.The call will remain open until suitable candidates are identified.For updated information about ICFO, please visitwww.Icfo.Eu .#J-18808-Ljbffr
