Postdoctoral Research Associate in Semiconductor Lasers and Optical Amplifiers
Postdoctoral Research Associate opening in Semiconductor Lasers and Optical Amplifiers
at the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Texas at Arlington (Arlington, Texas, on-site).
The Emerging Photonics Integration (EPI) Lab is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to design, fabricate, and characterize semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers. The role is centered on photonics, optoelectronics, semiconductor device fabrication, nanofabrication, and cleanroom-based research, with additional interest in compound semiconductors, III-V epitaxial materials/growth, silicon photonics, and heterogeneous integration platforms.
Eligibility highlights:
applicants should hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering, Physics, Optics and Photonics, or a closely related field. The post emphasizes 3+ years of hands-on cleanroom experience in fabrication and characterization of semiconductor lasers and/or SOAs, plus experience in device design and simulation. Strong publication, patent, or project evidence is expected. Preferred experience includes photonic device testing and validation and compound semiconductor growth.
Funding and appointment:
competitive salary and benefits are offered, with compensation negotiable based on experience. The appointment is renewable and includes career support and job referrals after completion.
How to apply:
email the PI with a CV, official transcript, 2–3 representative publications, and a brief research statement or slides deck. The lab website is provided for more information.
Keywords:
semiconductor lasers, optical amplifiers, photonics, optoelectronics, compound semiconductors, cleanroom fabrication, nanofabrication, silicon photonics, heterogeneous integration.
