Assistant Professor in Graphene devices and MMICs

The Microwave Electronics Laboratory at Chalmers invites applications for an Assistant Professor position in Graphene devices and Multifunction low noise millimeterwave (MMICs).

Information about the division
At the Microwave Electronics Laboratory, we focus on application driven research on high speed electronic components, circuits and systems for future communication and remote sensing applications.

The research spans frequencies from below 1 GHz to 500 GHz. We demonstrate innovative microwave components and circuits in our own fabrication lab, the Nanofabrication Laboratory at MC2, or at external cooperation partners/foundries. We characterize our components and circuits in our state-of the-art measurement laboratory. Our research are funded mainly by SSF, VR, and KAW, and Vinnova. Due to the high interest in high frequency components based on Graphene, we now open an Assistant Professor position for research and development of high frequency integrated circuits based on Graphene transistors. The position cover transistor fabrication, characterization, and development of MMIC-processes based on SiC semiinsulating substrates. We cooperate with various academic research groups.

Major responsibilities
Your primary duty as non-tenured assistant professor is to perform your own research on transistor and circuit design, modeling and characterization based on novel Graphene transistor processes, with focus on high frequency analog and mixed signalcircuits, generally as a member of a research group, in close cooperation with external partners from institues, industry and academy. 

The position also includes to supervise PhD-students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

Position summary
Full-time temporary employment for a maximum of four years. Progress will be assessed after two years. You are expected to achieve the scientific level of an associate professor within four years.

Qualifications
To qualify for the position of non-tenured assistant professor, you must have a doctoral degree in a relevant field; the degree should generally not be older than five years. Experience to manage research projects in close cooperation with external partners from industry and academy, to supervise PhD-students, and to conduct own research within the area of microwave electronics with focus on characterization and modelling of active microwave components is also qualifying. Experience from cleanroom processing is mandatory.

Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.
