Job Details

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.

This post, funded through the EPSRC ‘First Grant’ scheme, is part of a new Research Theme at the University of Sheffield looking at Applied Computational Microscopy. The post-holder will work closely on a new form of microscopy called Ptychography, attempting to perfect recent proofs-of-principle that extend its applicability into three dimensions. His/her findings will then be applied to a range of applications, for example visible light microscopy of thick tissues and electron microscopy of semiconductors. The candidate will develop a theory, backed up by matlab simulation results, that explains the capabilities and limitations of the new techniques and carry out proof-of-principle experiments in our well-equipped optics lab, to demonstrate the validity of the theory. Candidates are sought who have excellent computer skills including MATLAB programming, with a PhD (or thesis submission) in image technique development, or equivalent experience in industry. A publication track record in refereed Journals is essential.
