The Computational Electronics Group at Boston University is looking for post-doctoral research associate candidates to fill multiple positions. Successful candidates will be involved in a number of multi-year high-visibility research programs. Potential candidates must have a proven track record in one or more of the following areas: DFT calculations using hybrid functionals and/or many-body perturbation theory, density functional based tight-binding as applicable to non-crystalline amorphous materials and nanostructures, carrier transport modeling using semi-classical and quantum formalisms for device simulation, and development of highly-parallelized simulation codes. The successful candidate will be participating in one or more of the following research projects:

Carrier Transport in Disordered Systems - This project aims at developing models to study carrier transport in disordered systems using such as bulk polycrystalline semiconductor alloys, colloidal quantum dot layers and devices fabricated using these materials.

Study of Radiative and Non-radiative Processes - The goal of this project is to develop first-principle models of the radiative and non-radiative processes in low dimensional structures, for example, quantum dots, and polycrystalline semiconductor alloys.

III-V Nitrides Power Devices - The goal of this project is to develop numerical models of III-V nitride based power switches to identify the physical mechanisms that limit the power handling characteristics and their reliability.

Initial contract will be for one year renewable up to three years. Salary will be commensurate to the level of expertise. Preference will be given to candidates that are already in the US. US citizenship or permanent residency may be required for some positions. The potential candidates will work in a highly collaborative environment and have to be willing to mentor PhD students.

The Computational Electronics Group is housed in the Photonics Research Building at Boston University. The group manages a variety of high performance computing clusters and has its own experimental device characterization facilities.

Applicants should send their CV, sample publications, and the names of at least three references to the attention of Prof. E. Bellotti ([email protected]). The expected starting date is June 1, 2016. Applications will be considered until all the positions are filled.
