Deskripsi Pekerjaan
The National University of Singapore (NUS) is consistently ranked among the world's leading research universities. The GEMs Lab (Growth and Engineering of Materials) within the Department of Physics is at the forefront of nanotechnology, specifically focusing on the synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) materials and their application in next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices.
We are seeking several highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Researchers to join our dynamic and collaborative team. This is an exceptional opportunity to drive cutting-edge research involving the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of novel 2D crystals, including Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs), hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), and their heterostructures. You will be responsible for the full cycle of material synthesis, comprehensive characterization, and device integration.
Successful candidates will gain direct access to world-class facilities, including the NUS Centre for Advanced 2D Materials (CA2DM) and the state-of-the-art T-Lab cleanroom. You will collaborate closely with PhD students, research fellows, and leading principal investigators, contributing to high-impact publications and major grant applications. This role provides an ideal platform for launching a distinguished career in academia or the semiconductor/nanotechnology industry in Asia's premier research hub.
Tanggung Jawab
- Design, execute, and optimize experiments for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis of novel two-dimensional materials.
- Perform comprehensive characterization of synthesized materials using Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
- Develop and refine micro/nano-fabrication processes in a cleanroom environment for the production of functional electronic and optoelectronic devices.
- Methodically analyze experimental data, maintain detailed laboratory records, and troubleshoot complex synthesis and fabrication challenges.
- Prepare, draft, and submit high-quality research manuscripts for publication in top-tier, peer-reviewed international journals.
