Postdoctoral Research Associates

GaN and Related Compounds  

Applications are invited for postdoctoral research associate positions working in the area of GaN and related compounds. The positions involve materials synthesis, device processing, and studies of optical and transport properties of the group III-V nitrides.  Major facilities of the KSU physics semiconductor group include two MOCVD systems for the growth of III-nitride materials (GaN, InN, AlN, alloys, multiple quantum well and heterojunction structures), LEO 440 SEM system with e-beam lithograph capability,  photolithograph systems, a Plams-Therm Series 790 ICP dry etching system, picosecond and femtosecond time-resolved laser spectroscopy systems operating from IR to deep UV, and Hall, photo-conductivity and conductivity transient measurement facilities.  For more information about the group, please check http://www.phys.ksu.edu/area/GaNgroup. Candidates should have a strong background in experimental semiconductor physics and the ability to work independently.  Send letter of application and vita including names, phone numbers, and email addresses of three references to Prof. H.X. Jiang or Prof. J.Y. Lin, Department of Physics, 116 Cardwell Hall, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506-2601 [Tel(785) 532-1627 or 532-1614, Fax (785) 532-5636].  Screening of applications will begin June 1, 2001 and continue until the positions are filled.  KSU is an equal opportunity employer and actively seeks diversity among its employees.
