Postdoc position: Infrared Photodetectors and Bolometers 1740 views

The Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.

About the position:

• The Functional Optoelectronic NanoMaterials group at ICFO, led by ICREA Prof. Gerasimos Konstantatos, is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to develop high sensitivity Mid and LongWave Infrared Photodetectors and Bolometers.
• The selected candidate will join a team comprising physicists, material scientists and engineers to design, develop and characterize a new class of detectors aiming for low-cost, high-sensitivity mid and longwave infrared photodetectors and/or bolometers, based on colloidal quantum dots and/or 2D materials.
• The selected candidate should have demonstrated expertise on the design, development and characterization of photodetectors and/or bolometers in the mid and longwave infrared regime.
• Specific experience in the optoelectronic characterization of detectors/bolometers in this spectral regime (3 – 12 um) as well as their modeling will be considered an essential asset.

Requirements:

• Candidates must hold an internationally recognized PhD equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) in Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering, prior to taking up the position.
• No restrictions of citizenship or gender apply to the ICFO positions.

Duration: initially for 1 year with possibility for extension for additional years.

Applications:

Apply online and the application should submit the following:

• Presentation letter with a declaration of interest,
• CV, including contact details,
• The contact e-mail of two potential referees

*Candidates should be willing to be contacted by phone during the selection process.
