| The Device Research Laboratory (DRL) (drl.ee.ucla.edu) at the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Western Institute of Nanoelectronics (WIN) at UCLA are seeking postdoctoral researchers with expertise in spintronics, particularly focusing on (1) magnetic tunnel junction devices, or (2) spin-wave based devices.
We are seeking candidates that have expertise in at least two of the following areas: (i) Understanding, design, deposition and characterization of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ’s); (ii) Spin dynamics in metallic magnetic nano/microstructures (e.g. spin waves, spin transfer-induced oscillations and switching); (iii) understanding, deposition and characterization of piezoelectric and/or magnetoelectric films; and (iv) Skills in RF/Microwaves including high-frequency measurements, design, and layout. Knowledge of device physics, CMOS and associated processing is also required. Candidates should have a strong publication record, as well as excellent teamwork and leadership skills. Successful candidates will be working on high-profile DARPA contracts that will be in close collaboration with other top tier universities and the semiconductor industry – hence strong communication skills are a must. In addition, successful candidates should be able to work independently as well as lead larger teams of graduate students.
This position is looking for postdocs that are recent graduates or have some work experience. Applicants should possess a Ph.D. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science or other related field. Interested candidates should take action by emailing: a) resume and b) cover letter (both in PDF Format) only to Dr. Pedram Khalili at pedramk@ucla.edu for immediate consideration. Please mention “spintronics postdoc search” on the subject line. |
