Post.doc. position within the area “Optical spectroscopy of semiconductor nanowires” at Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway – Jnr. IME-046/2007.
A postdoctoral fellowship, duration of two years with possible extension up to three years, funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s “NANOMAT” program is offered within the area of “Optical spectroscopy of semiconductor nanowires” at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (http://www.iet.ntnu.no/en) in the Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The Post.doc will be part of a new research team consisting of three Ph.D. students and two Post.docs. with the long term goal to fabricate single nanowire lasers. The sought Post.doc. for this part of the project will be involved in the optical characterization of GaAsSb based hetero-structured nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Optical properties of individual nanowires will be studied by micro-photoluminescence, time-resolved luminescence, as well as by nano-optical techniques using low-temperature scanning confocal optical microscopy (SCOM) and scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Optical pumping experiment will
also be performed to investigate lasing properties of single nanowires. Depending on the candidates interest part of the project can also be devoted to processing and optical characterization of nanowire lasers.
We seek highly motivated individuals holding a PhD degree in physics (specialized in semiconductor physics or optics), physical electronics or other relevant disciplines. The candidate should have extensive experience from optical characterization of semiconductor nanostructures (e.g. nanowires, quantum dots). Experience from processing of nanostructure devices is an added advantage.
The candidate will work in a rich scientific environment through collaborations with other departments at the university, the “NTNU-NanoLab” as well as foreign collaboration partners (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland and Linköping University, Sweden).
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Helge Weman by e-mail (helge.weman[at]iet.ntnu.no) or look at the web-page http://www.iet.ntnu.no/weman for further information.
The position is remunerated according to salary code 1352, entry salary level 54-77 on the Norwegian State salary scale. This amounts to an annual gross salary of NOK 394.700.- – 613.100.- (approximately US$ 66 000 – 102.000), of which 2% is deducted for the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund. Salary will be subject to agreement with your employer.
The successful applicant must agree to the conditions laid down for public employees. The national labour force must reflect the composition of the population to the greatest possible extent. It is therefore a major political objective to achieve a balance of age and gender and to recruit persons with an immigrant background. Immigrants are encouraged to apply for this post. NTNU wants to increase the proportion of women in its scientific posts. Women are encouraged to apply.
The application must contain information about education, examinations and previous experience. Certified copies of certificates and documents must be attached.
Copies of publications and any other work which the applicant wishes to be taken into account should also be enclosed. Joint works will be considered. If it is difficult to specify the input of the applicant in a joint work, a short summary should be attached outlining the applicant’s input.
Applications are to be sent to:
Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering
Sem Sælands vei 5
N 7491 Trondheim
Norway.
Applications should be marked IME-046-2007.
