Subject: Postdoctoral position: intermediate band materials. Please forward.
To: Jacob J Krich <jkrich(a)uottawa.ca>
Dear Colleagues,
I am looking for a postdoctoral fellow for a 2 year (extendable to a third
year) position performing theoretical work on intermediate band materials
for infrared photodetectors and photovoltaics in the University of Ottawa
physics department. Applications will be accepted until the position is
filled, and the ideal start date is in Fall 2016.
The research involves a combination of analytical and numerical modelling
of intermediate band devices, in close collaboration with the experimental
groups of Jeffrey Warrender at Benét Laboratories and Karin Hinzer at
uOttawa.
Intermediate band materials (semiconductors with a large number of allowed
levels deep inside their band gaps) have only recently been created, and
many of their fundamental physical properties are not understood,
presenting rewarding opportunities for theoretical research. Silicon-based
intermediate band materials have strong IR absorption, and our goal is to
understand what combination of material properties is most important to
turn that absorption into extractable carriers, making effective IR
photodetectors and high efficiency solar cells. We will be developing
analytical and numerical models of intermediate band devices and will also
help to design and interpret characterization experiments for these
materials.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in physics, electrical engineering
with a focus on semiconductor devices, materials science, or a related
field. Prior experience with intermediate band materials, photodetectors,
or solar cells is not required. Applications from those with an
experimental background are welcome, but strong interest and proficiency in
analytical and numerical modelling is required. Proficiency with
programming (in any language) is desirable.
Interested applicants should send their cv, and arrange for two references
to be sent to Jacob Krich, jkrich(a)uottawa.ca

Please forward this information to anyone who may be interested and feel
free to contact me with questions.
I am also seeking a graduate student at either MSc or PhD level to work on
this and related projects.
Thank you and best regards,
Jacob
