Postdoctoral Researcher – 2D Materials & Optoelectronic Devices

Job Description

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials and van der Waals heterostructures for next-generation infrared and terahertz optoelectronic devices. The successful candidate will work on the UAEU Strategic Research project focused on engineering bandgap-tunable 2D heterostructures for MWIR, LWIR and THz photodetection. Responsibilities include:

• Fabrication of vdWs heterostructures (mechanical exfoliation, deterministic stacking, CVD)
• Optical and electrical characterization (Raman, PL, FTIR, THz-TDS)
• Device fabrication and performance evaluation
• DFT and multiscale modeling support
• Supervision of PhD and MSc students
• Publication of results in high-impact journals
  
  

Minimum Qualification

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field
• Proven experience in 2D materials and nanofabrication
• Experience with optical spectroscopy and semiconductor device characterization
• Strong publication record in Q1 journals
• Excellent scientific writing skills
  
  

Preferred Qualification

• Experience in IR/THz photodetectors
• Experience with cleanroom processing
• Knowledge of DFT simulations
• Experience with nanophotonic integration
