Postdoctoral Researcher -
1 Postdoctoral positions in epitaxy growth of 2D TMDs and heterostructures
2D Materials Lab at the UTokyo has 1 opening for postdoctoral researcher in the area of epitaxy growth of van der Waals heterostructures via CVD, MOCVD and MBE. The 2D Materials Lab leads a cross-disciplinary program in transfer-free epitaxy growth, atomic-scale engineering and wafer-scale integration of 2D materials for transistors and memories.
You will lead the development of new epitaxy mechanisms, wafer-scale transfer/integration, e-beam lithography, van der Waals 1R memristor, epiRAM, 3D synaptic arrays, heterointegration IoT/sensor arrays in tandem with in-depth characterizations. These activities will be supervised by the Tung group, and coordinated with collaborating researchers at UTokyo (Prof. Kosuke Nagashio) and TSMC.
What you will do:
1. Providing technical expertise in (a) wafer-scale, transfer-free epitaxy growth, and device characterization of TMDs, SiC/graphene, and h-BN; (b) Strained bilayers; and (c) automated CVD design.
2. Setting up and automating CVD, chemical vapor transportation (CVT) and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD).
3. Combining e-beam lithography, plasma etching, mechanical exfoliation and Raman characterizations for selective patterning.
4. Play a key role in maintaining a robust and inclusive safety culture.
5. Publish in peer-reviewed journals; contribute to scientific research papers, reports, proposals, review articles; present oral reports.
What is required:
1. Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or Mechanical Engineering.
2. Demonstrated knowledge or expertise in epitaxy growth (CVD, MOCVD, CVT, MBE), transfer, and characterizations of 2D
layered materials and their heterostructures, such as graphene, SiC, TMDs, h-BN, and metallic sheets.
3. Demonstrated ability to conduct and perform collaborative research and effectively interact with a broad range of colleagues.
4. Demonstrated ability to accurately and eloquently represent and promote scientific projects to audiences of diverse technical
backgrounds.
5. Experience in the preparation and handling of scientific manuscripts, reports and research posters.
6. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
The positions will remain open until filled.
Please send (a) 1-page research plan, and (b) CV (listing 5 most impactful publications) to Vincent (vincent@g.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp)
