Research Assistant/ Associate (Fixed Term)
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 24 months in the first instance. The post should start by early January 2025. 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. The candidate needs to be highly self-motivated and ambitious with demonstrated independence of research with solid experience in the aforementioned methods.
Experience Criteria:Applicants should have or about to obtain a PhD in a materials science or a closely related subject with experience as outlined above. Experience in 2D materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides would be advantageous, either device fabrication, synthesis or characterisation. Effective written communication skills and the ability to plan and organise independently are essential.
