PhD Student Position in Industrial Electronics, Ref no 608-10

Luleå University of Technology (LTU), division of EISLAB, Sweden, has a position available for a PhD student in the area of "High Performance TOF Range Camera for Industrial Applications and Mobile Robot Navigation Systems".


Solid-state TOF range cameras integrating optical sensors and parts of the signal processing electronics (both analog and digital) on a single CMOS chip is an emerging technology.An interesting technique to achieve high optical sensitivity is to utilize Single Photon Avalanche Diodes.The work is expected to include theory, high and low-level design, layout, and evaluation of manufactured devices.The work will be performed as part of the electronic design efforts at EISLAB.Cooperation with local electronics industry is expected.

We seek candidates with an MSc/civ.ing.degree in Electronics, Electrical engineering, Physics, or equivalent.Applicants shall have good knowledge in analog and digital electronics in general, with particular focus on analog integrated circuit design.Good knowledge in usage of tools for IC design and layout is required.Prior experience in evaluation of manufactured devices is highly valued.Previous academic as well as industrial experience in the area is credited.The applicant must be fluent in English.You should be a good team player and have an ability to take initiative.


The application must include a personal letter, CV, university transcripts (tests/grades record), and contact details of at least two references.Applications will be accepted and given full consideration until 2010-04-09.
