Research Associate in Electrical and Computer Engineering

University of Virginia • VA

70d

About The Position

The University of Virginia, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is seeking applicants for Research Associate position to work in the lab of Professor Joe Campbell. At present, the research in this group is focused on two areas related to photodetectors. The first is using new materials and novel structures to minimize the excess noise of avalanche photodiodes. The second research area focuses on photodetectors for microwave photonics. The emphasis is high speed, high responsivity, and high saturation current.

Requirements

• A Ph.D. in electrical engineering, physics, or other field related to optoelectronic device technology is required by the start date.
• Experience with optoelectronic devices is required.
• Familiarity with semiconductor device physics, solid-state physics, and introductory quantum mechanics.
• Experience with design, fabrication, and characterization of optoelectronic devices, with preference for experience with photodetectors.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with the operation and maintenance of equipment for photodiode characterization including current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, quantum efficiency versus wavelength, avalanche gain, and multiplication noise.

What This Job Offers

• Education Level: Ph.D. or professional degree
