Description:
|
The successful candidate will work as a member of a new research team applying fundamental principles of electrodynamics and materials synthesis to nanotechnologies related to electron optics which will ultimately benefit applications in sustainable energy. Fabrication, characterization, and modeling of electromagnetically-active nanoscale structures is central to this effort. This person will be expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate researchers and manage existing research awards in cooperation with collaborators. This person will be expected to submit proposals in their area of expertise to secure additional research funding. This person may also help teach classes, give lectures, and enhance undergraduate and graduate research experiences in the department. This is a fulltime, 12-month position with paid vacation and fringe benefits. |
|
Minimum Requirements:
|
PhD in Physics, Engineering Physics, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent. Experience in electrodynamics modeling, materials synthesis, nanoscale fabrication, and electron optics instrumentation with application to alternative energy is required. |
|
Preferred Qualifications:
|
The ideal candidate should have one to three years of experience with expertise in modeling energetics using electrodynamics, in fabricating and characterizing nanoscale materials using electron optics and related nanoscale techniques, and in developing novel plasmon active materials and electron optics metrics. Excellent written and oral communication skills are preferred. Candidates with prior experience in electron optics tools for fabrication and characterization, computational analysis using finite difference time domain, and synthesis of novel materials with properties not available in nature are preferred. Important qualifications include: a successful publishing record in one or more areas listed above, experience in mentoring graduate and undergraduate researchers, managing research expenditures, and collaborating with faculty on existing research awards. |
