Information about the research and the division

The Electronics Materials and Systems Laboratory (EMSL) in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) at the Chalmers University of Technology is seeking for an outstanding candidate for a postdoctoral position to work in the research project SMARTHERM funded by the European Union. Research activities will be focused on equipment setup and develop novel methods for thermal conductivity measurement of carbon structures such as carbon nanotubes, graphene-based films, carbon fibers and thermal boundary resistance between carbon structures and different materials. A target of the project is related to advanced thermal characterization techniques such as pulsed photothermal reflectance (PPR), Time Domain Thermoreflectance (TDTR) as well as Joule heating.

The division is the home for research and education in microsystem integration and packaging, MEMS technology as well as theoretical modelling and simulation in the above mentioned field. Our vision is to develop new carbon based functional materials, processes and systems for life.

Major responsibilities

-Take responsibility for research and education in nanoscale thermal characterization techniques for microelectronics and microsystems, espeically for power electronics, optoelectronics and high frequency electroncis and other high power devices. -Identify and develop new thermal characterization tools for nanoscale heat transport. Responsible for existing thermal chacterization tools such as PPR, 3?, joule heating, IR-thermometer etc in the laboratory.

Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group. The position also includes teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

Position summary

Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications

- Experience in thermal tools of 3?, PPR,TDTR etc

Candidates should hold a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering or Physics with excellent academic credentials and a strong commitment to developing an academic career in an international and multidisciplinary environment.

The degree should generally not be older than three years. You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential within research and education.

Candidates should have strong publication record on thermal characterization on nanostructure materials. Previous experience in developing thermal characterization techniques and analyzing heat conduction problem in multilayer structure will be valued, as well as the ability to work creatively and independently in collaboration with large research teams.

Experience in programming languages Matlab, Maple, and data analysis will be preferred.

Fluent English (oral and written) is required. Candidates should possess strong communication in English both technically and interpersonally.

Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.

Application procedure

The application should be marked with Ref 20160190 and written in English.
