About this position

The High Power Density Electronics (HPDE) Center at The University of Texas at Dallas is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to investigate the characterization and modeling of gallium nitride (GaN) power devices.

The project focuses on evaluating high-voltage GaN and emerging ultra-wide-bandgap power devices in collaboration with industry partners. The researcher will develop models that predict device performance, lifetime, and reliability, contributing to advanced power-electronics technologies for data centers, solid-state transformers, and battery energy-storage systems.

Research activities include studying device physics, performing device testing and troubleshooting, verifying performance, developing device and power-converter models, and supporting the design and development of power-electronics hardware and circuits. The role also involves analyzing experimental data, documenting research findings, and presenting progress at group meetings and technical conferences.

The HPDE Center is expanding its capabilities in device development, advanced packaging, power-conversion hardware architectures, and a megawatt-scale hardware-in-the-loop testbed. The postdoctoral researcher will work in an on-site, in-person research environment with industry-connected projects and facilities supporting next-generation power electronics.

Funding details

Regular full-time postdoctoral employment with a salary of $60,000 per year. The position includes a comprehensive benefits package, including competitive salary, tuition benefits, medical insurance options with 100% paid employee medical coverage for full-time employees, AD&D insurance, dental and vision plan options, optional disability coverage, a TRS retirement plan, fertility benefits, and paid time off.

What's required

A Ph.D. in a related field is required. Candidates who have completed all Ph.D. requirements but whose degree has not yet been formally conferred may be eligible with official certification from their registrar or graduate school and an expected conferral date. Preferred qualifications include semiconductor device characterization and modeling; device testing, long-term reliability testing, data analysis, and device modeling; electrical characterization systems and multi-probe techniques; power-converter hardware design, implementation, testing, and analysis; proficiency with LTspice, COMSOL, ANSYS, MATLAB, or Python; strong written and verbal communication demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations; and the ability to work independently and in a team.

How to apply

Apply through the University of Texas at Dallas job posting. Submit a cover letter or letter of application and a curriculum vitae; optional veteran preference documentation may also be submitted.
