Post-doctoral Position in Development of Low-Cost CMOS Compatible Intersubband Optoelectronics
ICFO 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. The Functional Optoelectronic NanoMaterials group at ICFO, led by ICREA 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.
Minimum Requirements:
Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) in Material Science, Physics, or Electrical Engineering.
Demonstrated experience and hands-on expertise in the fabrication, characterization, and optimization of optoelectronic devices for photodetection and light emission based on intersubband transitions.
Strong background in the physics of intersubband transitions in quantum confined materials and devices.
Proficiency in the preparation of setups for the optical and electronic characterization of devices in the mid and long wave infrared 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 the field of colloidal quantum dot optoelectronics, albeit not required, will be positively evaluated.
ICFO is an equal opportunity employer. Candidates are selected exclusively on merit and potential based on submitted application material. No restrictions related to disabilities, citizenship, or gender apply to ICFO positions. ICFO abides by the principles of openness, efficiency, transparency, supportiveness, and international comparability as stated in the European Charter for Researchers and the European Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers.
The position is available immediately and is renewable on an annual basis for up to 3 years, depending on the performance of the incumbent and the progress of the project.
