    Description

    The role

    Applications are invited for the role of Postdoctoral Researcher at the UKRI Innovation and Knowledge Centre (IKC) Transforming Net Zero with Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductor Device Technology (REWIRE) to provide leading contributions to power electronic semiconductor devices. The role-holder will provide professional expertise and contribute creative and innovative solutions in device fabrication including working with outside industry partners; you will be supported by a Senior Clean Room Technician. They will have the ability to interpret and evaluate data from a variety of characterisation systems to optimise process flows. The ability to manage concurrent projects and schedule efficient usage of the appropriate cleanroom equipment is essential.

    At REWIRE, our aim is to accelerate the UK's ambition for net zero by transforming the next generation of high voltage electronic devices using wide/ultra-wide bandgap compound semiconductors. Led by Bristol (Academic Director: Professor Kuball) with partners Cambridge and Warwick Universities, REWIRE will develop high-voltage power semiconductor devices, essential building blocks for ultra-high voltage (UHV) net-zero enabling all-electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, renewable energy and their High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) grid connections.

    Professor Kuball, Royal Academy of Engineering Chair in Emerging Technologies, is Director of the IKC REWIRE and of the Centre for Device Thermography and Reliability (CDTR), a world-leading research centre focusing on transforming the electrical performance, thermal management and reliability of novel power and RF electronic devices, circuits and packaging. This position also benefits from the CDTR leading the EPSRC programme grant ULTRAlGaN on developing vertical solid state circuit breakers using high composition AlGaN materials and the Chair in Emerging Technologies awarded to Professor Kuball by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) in 2020, and various US funded programmes the CDTR is partnered in.

    What will you be doing?

    You will conduct research to develop advanced ultrawide bandgap semiconductor device technology and their understanding. Responsibilities include processing of high-voltage power devices, conducting electrical characterization and testing of the processed devices (this includes, e.g. AlGaN, Ga2O3, diamond, cBN and other upcoming materials). You will work with external stakeholders, in particular industry, as well as academic partners within REWIRE and will engage with senior management of REWIRE, to seek further industrial or other funding opportunities, including writing/co-writing of proposals.

    You will supervise/advise Senior Cleanroom technician, and work together with/co-supervising PhD students of CDTR

    You should apply if

    Applicants should have postgraduate (PhD) experience in physics, materials science or engineering, with a good publication record. The position requires extensive expertise in sophisticated techniques such as electron beam lithography, reactive ion etching, deposition and associated cleanroom activities. A willingness to work together with, and co-supervise, PhD students of the CDTR will be necessary.

    Contract type: Open ended fixed term until 2029
