Job description

A gifted and artistic postdoctoral researcher is in search of to work within the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride, performing development of nitride supplies and units for functions in energy electronics and characterising the ensuing supplies. The Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride is a part of the Division of Supplies Science and Metallurgy on the College of Cambridge and likewise leads the nitride exercise throughout the EPSRC Nationwide Epitaxy Facility.This submit is on the market beneath the UltrAlGaN Programme Grant (EPSRC) in collaboration with the College of Bristol and different companions. The broad goal of the Programme is the event of high-performance AlGaN solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs). On this context, the profitable candidate will contribute to analysis on the expansion of aluminium and nitrogen-polar AlGaN, the expansion of graded AlGaN layers, the regrowth of AlGaN, the expansion on bulk AlN substrates, and the realisation of recent doping ideas in AlGaN, specifically polarisation doping. The undertaking crew additionally contains the potential for development by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and the profitable candidate will exhibit enthusiasm for collaboration throughout the 2 development applied sciences to attain optimised supplies. The function may current the chance for fundamental system fabrication to facilitate epitaxy characterisation, and therefore expertise of system fabrication is fascinating.Tasks:

• Handle analysis actions, generate high-quality information, and develop scientific strategies
• Contribute intellectually to the path of the nitride analysis throughout the Centre
• Current information regionally at lab conferences and seminars, and extra broadly at worldwide scientific conferences
• Draft scientific manuscripts with help from Prof Oliver and contribute to the day-to-day supervision of Masters or PhD college students

Necessities:

• Maintain a Ph.D. in Supplies Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a associated space, or be nearing completion of 1
• In depth expertise in crystal development, ideally utilizing metal-organic vapour section epitaxy (MOVPE)
• A observe file of analysis on nitride semiconductors or intently associated supplies
• Nicely-versed in a variety of strategies for the characterisation of the construction and properties of supplies, with expertise in two or extra of the next strategies: scanning probe microscopy, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Corridor probe measurements, or C-V measurements. Candidates with in-depth experience in scanning probe microscopy are notably inspired to use
• Abilities in information presentation, each verbally and in writing
• Dedicated to collaborative and interdisciplinary analysis and in a position to work each independently and as a part of a crew

Extra Info:

• Functions are notably welcome from girls, black, and minority ethnic candidates
• Mounted-term: The funds for the function can be found for two years within the first occasion
