This position is for a post-doctoral Research Assistant/Associate to work in Professor Judith Driscoll's research group - . The position is to work on a new collaborative project with a start-up company in Cambridgeshire.
The candidate will be expected to undertake research in the area of oxide thin film materials with electrical switching effects in epitaxial binary ferroelectric oxide thin films, aimed at either non-volatile memory or neuromorphic computing or both. They will also work with industry colleagues. The successful applicant will be expected to undertake experimental research in a team environment, working under the supervision of Prof Driscoll. The candidate will undertake thin film growth by pulsed laser deposition and/or sputtering, undertake materials characterisation by a wide range of methods (e.g. X-ray, XPS, AFM), and will undertake electrical device fabrication and testing.
