Position Description

Texas State University is a doctoral-granting institution with high research activity, dedicated to advancing innovation and expanding the frontiers of research. Our Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductor (UWBG) lab focuses on developing next-generation UWBG materials and process technologies based on diamond, III-nitrides, and Ga₂O₃ for high-power, high-frequency, and extreme-environment electronics.

Position Overview

Under the National Science Foundation and Department of Defense grants, we are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our UWBG Semiconductor Lab. The successful candidate will work on cutting-edge research projects focused on ultrawide bandgap materials (e.g., diamond, III-nitrides, and Ga₂O₃), advancing next-generation electronic devices through innovations in thin film epitaxy, doping, interface engineering, and laser-based processing.

Key Responsibilities

Conduct research on ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductor materials (e.g., diamond, III-nitrides, Ga₂O₃), focusing on heteroepitaxial growth, doping, defect engineering, and thermal management.
Investigate thermal transport, interface engineering, and heat dissipation strategies in high-power and high-frequency electronic devices through experimental and modeling approaches.
Develop and optimize thin-film growth and processing techniques (e.g., CVD, PLD, sputtering, laser annealing) for next-generation semiconductor devices.
Perform primarily experimental research, with a smaller component involving materials modeling and atomistic simulations to support and interpret experimental results.
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team spanning materials science, electrical engineering, and device physics.
Publish research findings in high-impact journals and present at leading academic and industry conferences.
Assist the PI in research proposal development for federal funding agencies and mentor graduate and undergraduate students.

This position is subject to the availability of funds.

Required Qualifications

Ph.D. in Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field, completed within the last 2 years or expected within the next 3 months.
Strong background in semiconductor materials growth physics and heterointerface engineering, particularly in UWBG materials.
Knowledge of thin-film growth & characterization, semiconductor processing, and materials characterization techniques.
Modeling, Programming and data analysis skills using tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics, MATLAB, Python, or similar.
Hands-on experimental experience in laboratory settings.
Demonstrated ability to work in a collaborative, multidisciplinary research environment with strong written and oral communication skills in English.
Proven record of research productivity, evidenced by publications.
