About this position
The Department of Physics at the University of Jyväskylä’s Accelerator Laboratory is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on radiation effects in power electronics. The project focuses on wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies, especially silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power devices, with the aim of developing practical radiation testing guidelines for these emerging components.
The successful researcher will review published studies on radiation effects, failure mechanisms, and test practices relevant to wide-bandgap materials. A major part of the work involves radiation testing of WBG-based components and the development of test methodologies based on existing practices. The project also includes drafting application-specific guidelines for test setup and procedures as part of Deliverable D3.2.
Depending on the researcher’s background and interests, the role may also involve building the experimental setup and developing data acquisition and analysis software. The work sits at the intersection of accelerator-based research, electronic testing, and applied device reliability, within an international and multidisciplinary environment.
The position is embedded in the Accelerator Laboratory and is co-funded through the RADNEXT 2030 project and the University of Jyväskylä.
