Description

A 24-month senior research fellow position is available with Dr David J.

Lewis in the Department of Materials for an ambitious and talented inorganic materials chemist as part of a wider £1.7M EPSRC project, working with teams in the Departments of Chemistry (Winpenny) and Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Boland) at the University of Manchester.

The successful applicant will work as part of a world leading team of physicists, chemists, engineers and materials scientists which has been assembled to demonstrate a sustainable high-resolution route to nanofabrication by introducing direct write ion beam lithography as an additive manufacturing route to nanoscale semiconductors.

The role of this post in the project is to provide bespoke inorganic molecules that act as molecular precursors for the solid state materials to be written.

The outcomes will be multiple breakthroughs in manufacturing that will enable large scale manufacturing of semiconductor devices at resolutions < 5 nm leading to a step change in the performance and fundamental understanding of the materials targeted.

This manufacturing route will accelerate academic research and make smaller semiconductor companies in the UK competitive with larger companies globally.

As an equal opportunities employer we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of age, sex, gender (or gender identity), ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status.

All appointments are made on merit.
