May, 2010. The Nanoscale Electronics and Sensors Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral research associate. Interested candidates should send their full CVs and a list of 3 references to Dr. Goutam Koley by e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. This is initially a two year position, with renewal after first year contingent upon satisfactory progress. Salary will be commensurate with experience.

Responsibilities: The candidate will be responsible for fabrication of Nanoelectronic and Micro/Nanoelectromechanical devices using photolithographic and/or e-beam lithographic techniques, their structural/electrical/mechanical characterization, and applications in chemical/biological/radiological sensing. Other responsibilities include assistance in grant proposal writing and general lab/student supervision.

Requirements: An earned doctoral degree (preferably from an accredited US University), and a strong background in semiconductor materials and devices is required. Candidates must have experience in clean room and lithographic fabrication and/or in nanoscale semiconducting material synthesis. Structural characterization experiences with SEM, AFM, TEM, etc., and background in MEMS or sensor devices will be a plus. 

June 2009. 3 undergraduate students, Calvin Pope, Nick Deroller, and Devendra Diwan join Dr. Koley’s group In the summer 2009 through NSF funded REU program. They will be working with the graduate students on various research topics including synthesis of nanostructures, finite element simulation of MEMS/NEMS, CVD furnace design and assembly, sensor test bed assembly, and data acquisition programming using Labview.
