Amanuensis position in microwave and terahertz technology

Are you curious about research in microwave and terahertz technologies and the expansion of the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for a better society? Would you like to gain practical experience from state-of-the-art research infrastructures like the Kollberg lab and the nanofabrication lab at Chalmers?

Now you have the opportunity to gain this experience by working as an amanuensis at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience.

Information about the division 
We demonstrate innovative technologies within the microwave and terahertz spectra with applications ranging from basic science to future wireless sensors and communication systems. Wireless communication and remote sensing play an essential role in modern society, and almost everyone uses such techniques every day. Typical examples include mobile phones, monitoring industrial manufacturing processes, safety, and health applications. Microwave and terahertz technology is an indispensable tool for space science, hoping to gain fundamental knowledge of the origin of our universe and for atmospheric science, which is directly related to the environmental challenge and climate change effects.

We offer several projects spanning from device fabrication via high-frequency components to wireless communication or radar systems.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities are to participate in ongoing projects and become familiar with different aspects of research work. Typically this involves measurement techniques, data interpretation, or developing fabrication methods in the nanofabrication laboratory.

Qualifications
The position is open for students enrolled in the wireless, photonics and space engineering or the nanotechnology programs at Chalmers. We believe that you are curious and willing and eager to learn new things. 

Mandatory experiences and skills:
- Programming (Matlab, Python, etc).

Meritorious experiences and skills:
- Knowledge of microwave systems, microwave engineering, active microwave circuits, microelectronics, semiconductor devices, microfabrication, signal processing and communication theory.
- Interested in continuing with a master thesis within the research environment.

Contract terms
Part time temporary employment (20%).

We offer
Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg.
