Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Semiconductor Devices Apply to the Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Semiconductor Devices position located at St Lucia Campus. This is a full-time (100%), fixed-term position for up to 2 years. The base salary will be in the range of $78,871.35 - $105,004.02 + 17% Superannuation (Academic Level A).
About This Opportunity The position is directly associated with The Quantum and Advanced Technologies Commercialisation Infrastructure Program (QCIP). The project involves establishing a state-of-the-art Photon Detector Characterisation Facility at the University of Queensland (UQ) and development of the next generation of visible and near-infrared photon detectors using new classes of semiconductors, such as perovskites, quantum dots, and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. The project is at the frontier of the multidisciplinary field of quantum technology, semiconductor, and device physics.
Key responsibilities will include: Research: Establish a research program, collaborate on research projects, seek and manage research funding, publish in reputable journals, utilize best practice research methodologies, and participate in project discussions. Supervision and Researcher Development: Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, provide performance feedback and training, resolve conflicts, and ensure correct remuneration and benefits. Citizenship and Service: Develop partnerships, demonstrate leadership through mentoring, engage in internal service roles and committees, perform administrative functions, provide support to colleagues, and uphold university values. This is a research-focused position. Further information can be found by viewing UQ's Criteria for Academic Performance.
About You Completion of a PhD in semiconductor physics, optics, carbon-based semiconductors, or quantum technology. Recent and extensive experience in the fabrication and testing of semiconductor devices. Clean room experience including optical lithography. Experience in physical, electrical, and optoelectronic property characterisation of semiconductor devices (e.g., light harvesting devices, and/or photo-detectors). In-depth understanding of basic photo-physical processes in optoelectronic devices (e.g., charge transport, ultra-fast processes, recombination physics, exciton generation). Ability to plan and execute fabrication and testing protocols successfully and safely with minimal supervision. Ability to take accurate and reliable records of work carried out. Demonstrated capacity to work in a multi-disciplinary team in an integrated program of work. Ability to present work to other scientists in the field in a clear and concise manner.
