About this position

Texas State University’s UWBG Semiconductor Lab is recruiting several PhD students for Fall 2026 / Spring 2027 in Electrical Engineering or Materials Science and Engineering.

The group, led by Dr. Ariful Haque (Assistant Professor, Texas State University), focuses on ultrawide bandgap semiconductors and next-generation electronics. Research topics include the fabrication, characterization, and device aspects of diamond, Ga2O3, AlGaN, and related heterostructures, with work spanning semiconductor processing, cleanroom fabrication, thin films, and device engineering.

The positions are tied to recently awarded projects funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Defense. The lab highlights access to state-of-the-art semiconductor fabrication, processing, characterization, and cleanroom facilities, plus opportunities for publication, innovation disclosure, and collaboration with scientific consortia and national labs.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a BS and/or MS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science/Engineering, or a closely related field. Candidates without an MS should have a strong GRE score; candidates with an MS should have strong research experience and good-quality publications in the semiconductor field. An official language proficiency score is required.

Application: upload an updated CV through the provided link. The post also points to the lab website and faculty profile for more information about the group and research environment.

Location: Texas State University, in the Austin metropolitan area, USA.
