Job Details

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering is respected internationally for the important contributions it makes in this field. We are a vibrant community of 40 academic staff, 48 research staff, 25 technical staff, 23 administrative staff and over 750 undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The Department's teaching is underpinned by research at the leading edge. The world-class laboratories are available to undergraduates and postgraduates. They include the development of advanced electrical machines, power electronics and drives, next-generation communication and radar systems, the design and systems incorporation of novel semiconductor devices and integrated circuits.

The Department is organised into three research areas: Electrical Machines and Drives, Semiconductor Materials and Devices, and Communications and Electronics Engineering. It is also home to the UK’s EPSRC National Centre for III-V Technologies. For further information about the Department and each of these research areas go to www.shef.ac.uk/eee.

 

The Role

The Research Associate post is funded from a prestigious programme grant entitled “Si Compatible GaN Power Electronics” involving a total of seven partner universities and with the support of a number of UK-based industries.

The post has become available due to recent new appointments within the GaN Power Electronics group and the successful candidate will play a key role in the design and fabrication of novel GaN-based electronic devices, and in supporting technology developments within the strong UK research grouping.

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent research background and ideally have experience in semiconductor device design and fabrication in a clean room environment.

Strong communication skills are required because of the highly collaborative nature of the work.

The appointment will be from 1 July 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter.

This research work is in direct alignment with the strategic aims of the University and builds on strong existing research links, particularly in high-value manufacturing, communications and energy. In addition, the grant is strongly aligned with EPSRC priority themes.
