Postdoc in microwave packaging and multi-physical modeling

In this position you will be part of forming the future generations wireless communication and sensing systems. You will investigate application-driven challenges in high-power multi-antenna transmitters. Your work will be dedicated to the design, modeling, and experimental implementation of these systems -challenges that incorporate research in Microwave Engineering, Active Semiconductor Devices, Electromagnetism, Antenna design, Thermal transport, and Mechanical engineering. You will iteratively work with multi-physical simulations and experimental implementations to solve thermal limitations and associated design constraints.

Information about the division and the research
The position is hosted by the Microwave Electronics Laboratory at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2) in close collaboration with the Antenna systems laboratory at the Department of Electrical Engineering (E2) and industry partners. 

In this position you will also get the chance to spend quite some time on experiments in Chalmers open infrastructure for microwave and Terahertz technology, the Kollberg Laboratory, which is one of Europe’s most well-equipped measurement infrastructures in the field.

Major responsibilities
Your major responsibilities as postdoc at Chalmers are to pursue your own research in line with the project goals. You are expected to develop your own scientific concepts and communicate the results of your research verbally and in writing. It is an outspoken goal that yours and the research project results are published in Scientific journals and conferences.

Beside research, involving experimental and theoretical work, as described above, you are also encouraged to be involved in education and supervision of undergraduate and graduate students. 

Qualifications
To qualify for the position as postdoc you must have a doctoral degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or similar; the degree should generally not be older than three years. Experience of high-frequency electronics measurements, multiphysical simulations, mechanical engineering and thermal design are all meritorious qualifications.

Furthermore, it will be valuable if you can take on some responsibility, take own initiative, and work independently when needed. At the same time, it is important that you are a good team player. This is especially vital since the current project will interact closely with adjacent disciplines and with industrial partners. A high level of written and spoken English is required

Contract terms
This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years, with possible extension for one more year.
