Research Fellow – Transition Metal Dichalcogenide (TMD) Electronic Devices
About the Role
This prestigious role represents a step change from Post-Doctoral researcher roles. You will work on designing and implementing a specific research programme in association with the Principal Investigator to support the development of Tyndall's TMD activity in the NanoIC Pilot Line.
Purpose of the Role
The purpose of this role is to design & implement a specific research programme in association with the Principal Investigator to support the development of Tyndall's TMD activity in the NanoIC Pilot Line.
Key Responsibilities
* Work with the supervisor and other team members in idea and strategy generation to deliver the outputs of the project and to contribute to raising the profile of this activity.
* Coordinate and execute the implementation of experimental work such as semiconductor processing, device and material metrology, presentation and interpretation of data.
* Utilise an independent approach to carry the project work forward including to proactively identify opportunities for external funding sources, prepare grant proposals and the assessment of research findings for potential commercial exploitation in collaboration with the PI.
* Collaborate with project partners, internal and external researchers and carry out any administrative and management work associated with the NanoIC technical deliverables.
Essential Criteria
* PhD in materials sciences, engineering, chemistry, physics or related discipline and typically 6 years postdoctoral experience.
* Typically, 6 years on hands-on experience working on Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs), and electronic devices.
* Demonstrated knowledge of material science and device characterisation and experience in building process fabrication flows from concept stage.
* A strong publication record in the field of TMD materials and devices.
Appointment Details
The duration of the contract is a fixed term of approximately 24 months with the possibility to extend by 18 months upon the availability of funding, satisfactory performance, mutual agreement and a detailed career development plan.
What We Offer
We offer progressive employment and training policies including opportunities for further studies.
