Research Associate ( Postdoctoral) Position in Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition Growth

A postdoctoral position in the newly created Metal-organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) lab at The University of Virginia is available starting in late 2007 or early 2008. The MOCVD lab will conduct research in compound semiconductor growth for optoelectronic devices. The applications for these devices include communications, single photon counting, medical diagnostics, and thermal imaging. Future research areas that will be pursued in the MOCVD lab include quantum dots, nanowires, photovoltaics, and spintronics. Competitive candidates are expected to have prior experience in the operation of MOCVD system, basic materials characterization techniques for compound semiconductor materials , and presenting data in publications and at national and international conferences. Previous experience with device processing and testing is desired, but not required for this position.

To apply send a cover letter, CV, and contact information for three references to:
Archie Holmes, Charles L. Brown Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Virginia, E314 Thornton Hall 351 McCormick Road, P.O. Box 400743 Charlottesville, Virginia 22904-4743
