About this position
The University of Texas at Arlington invites applications for a full-time, benefits-eligible Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering. The position is based in Arlington, Texas, United States, with an expected start date of November 1, 2026, and remains open until filled.
The postdoctoral researcher will conduct independent research on semiconductor lasers, optical amplifiers, and integrated photonics. Core activities include photonic-device design, cleanroom fabrication, testing and validation, research-proposal and grant development, project management, collaboration, mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, and publishing findings in high-impact peer-reviewed journals.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Physics, Optics and Photonics, or a closely related discipline. Candidates should have a strong publication record and at least three years of hands-on cleanroom experience in the fabrication and characterization of semiconductor lasers and/or semiconductor optical amplifiers. Preferred experience includes semiconductor-laser or optical-amplifier design and simulation, III-V compound-semiconductor epitaxial materials and growth, photonic-device testing, silicon photonics, and heterogeneous photonic integration.
The position offers continued expected funding and a comprehensive university benefits package, although no salary amount is listed. Applications require a CV, cover letter, and contact information for two references. Review begins immediately and continues until the position is filled.
