About The Position
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Virginia is seeking qualified candidates for a Research Scientist position. We seek a qualified candidate with expertise in semiconductor device physics to support several research initiatives at the University of Virginia. The candidate should have experience with the design, fabrication, and characterization of optoelectronic devices, with a preference for knowledge of linear-mode and Geiger-mode avalanche photodiodes. Preferred candidates should also be familiar with equipment operation and maintenance for photodiode characterization, including current-voltage, capacitance-voltage, quantum efficiency versus wavelength, avalanche gain, and multiplication noise in linear-mode avalanche photodiodes. Characterization of single photon avalanche diodes requires knowledge of dark count rate, photon detection efficiency, and afterpulse rate. Experience in cleanroom processing techniques is also desired. The candidate will be expected to take the lead on programs with minimal oversight and interface with collaborators at other universities. The candidate will also be expected to mentor graduate students in the same area as the candidate.
