Scientist

About This Role

Seeking a PhD candidate in Materials Science or Engineering to lead research on oxide thin films for photonics using sputtering and PLD techniques, focusing on structural characterization via AFM/XRD/SEM.

Responsibilities

• Growth of oxide thin films on Si wafers via physical vapor deposition.
• Structural characterization using atomic force microscopy, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy.
• Collaboration with theory teams to understand film growth mechanisms.
• Design, nanofabrication, and testing of photonic devices.
• Publishing experimental findings in peer-reviewed journals and filing patent applications.

Requirements

• PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, or Chemistry.
• Strong skills in data analysis with preferred experience in photonic devices.
• Experience in oxide thin film deposition by sputtering, PLD, or MBE.
• Solid understanding of film growth mechanisms and rich experience in structural characterization techniques.
