About You
The ideal candidate will possess exceptional expertise in the physics and technology of group-IV epitaxial semiconductor materials and devices, with an emphasis on SiGe. You will have extensive hands-on experience, spanning several years, in the structural and electrical characterization of group-IV semiconductor materials and devices using advanced techniques such as TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD, XRR, FTIR, SE, Hall effect measurements, and C-V and I-V characterization.
You will be an outstanding communicator, capable of collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary research team while also demonstrating the independence to drive your projects forward. Strong planning and time management skills are essential, enabling you to define clear milestones, establish realistic timelines, and ensure timely and efficient project execution.
Your responsibilities will include taking a leading role in routine characterization, as well as driving research and development of SiGe epitaxial materials, synthesised using in-house state-of-the-art facilities. Additionally, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the group, report your findings to colleagues and collaborators, and disseminate your work through high-impact journal publications and conference presentations.
PhD Status
If you are near submission of your PhD, or have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made at Research Assistant level, at the highest spinal point of pay grade 5 (£34,610 per annum).
Upon receipt of evidence confirming the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow, at the lowest spinal point of grade 6 (£35,608 per annum).
