Postdoctoral Research
Two postdoctoral research associate positions are available for working on a research project funded by the United States Department of Energy. This three-year project involves collaboration between the University of Texas at Dallas and the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). It aims to develop miniaturized scanning probe devices for high-throughput atomically precise manufacturing.
The candidates should have experience with MEMS design, characterization and microfabrication in a cleanroom environment and be able to design interface electronic circuits for MEMS transducers. The successful candidates will have the opportunity to participate in a host of theoretical and experimental projects, supervise graduate and undergraduate researchers, write reports and manuscripts, attend international conferences and prepare proposals. One of the researchers will be located at the Laboratory for Dynamics and Control of Nanosystems at the University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, TX. The other will be based at the NIST campus in Gaithersburg, MD.
The applicants should have (or be close to completing) a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related field. The positions are available immediately and include a competitive salary and fringe benefits package. Interested applicants should visit our contact page and supply the following information:
- A detailed CV including a list of publications
- A statement of research interests and background (one page only)
- Names and contact details of three references
