postdoctoral positions in Compact Modeling in Tarragona (Spain)

As Professor in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain), I am going to apply for two  postdoctoral positions (funded by the Spanish Ministry and the Catalan Government) related to our research projects about Compact Modeling of semiconductor devices: in particular, the European Union -funded "DOMINO" project (of which I am the coordinator, and which targets modeling of organic and oxide TFTs), and our national projects addressing the modeling of GaN HEMTs and nanowire MOSFETs.

The candidate for one of the position should be a person who holds a PhD as awarded between January 1 2014 and December 31 2015. The candidate for the other 
position should be a person who holds a PhD as awarded between January 1 2011 and December 31 2013. The duration of both fellowships will be 24 months.

The candidate should have enough research experience in the field of semiconductor devices, and must have a very good knowledge of the physics of electron devices. The research project to be carried out can be adapted to the candidate's profile. In any case, it will be related to the research projects in which we participate. Our contribution in these projects is the physics and modeling (in particular compact modeling) of the novel devices addressed by our projects: organic and oxide Thin Film Transistors (TFTs), GaN HEMTs, nanowire FETs, multi-gate MOSFETs (FinFETs, DG MOSFETs,...), ...

The postdoc positions, which will be a contract, will have a duration of 2-3 years. The net salary will be around 1900 Euro/months.

The postdoctoral researcher will work in the compact device team, led by Prof Benjamin Iñiguez, belonging to the Nanoelectronics and Photonics Systems Group (NEPHOS) in the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV). This team is a worldwide well recognized pioneering group in the development of compact models for advanced and emerging semiconductor devices. The team has participated in a number of European Union funded projects aout this topic and has led some of them.

Interested applicants should send me their CV by e-mail.

About Tarragona:
Tarragona is located on the Mediterranean, in the heart of the Costa Daurada, in the south of Catalonia, about 100 Km south from Barcelona. Tarragona is well connected to Barcelona by highway, and frequent trains and buses. It has also a direct bus connection with Barcelona Airport. Besides, it has high-speed rail connection with Madrid and Barcelona.

Tarraco (the Roman name for Tarragona) was one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. F On 30 November 2000, the UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tàrraco a World Heritage Site. This recognition is intended to help ensure the conservation of the monuments, as well as to introduce them to the broader international public. Among the citizens of Tarragona, it has moreover fomented knowledge of, pride in and respect for the city.
Speaking about Tarraco’s climate, the famous Roman poet Virgil wrote: “The climate blends and confuses the seasons singularly, so that all the year seems an eternal spring.” Thanks to its temperate climate, with an average yearly temperature of 23ºC, its clean beaches with fine and gloden sand, and its singular artistic and architectural heritage, Tarragona is one of the most important tourism hubs in EuropeThe city has a population of 120,202 inhabitants

FOSDEM 2016 EDA Devroom

FOSDEM 2016: EDA Devroom
Room: AW1.121 
Saturday, 30 January 2016

Software developers have a much easier time sharing their developments than hardware designers. When you put a piece of code on the Web, you don't ask yourself if others will have the freedom and resources to access a text editor to look at it and modify it, or a compiler or interpreter to have the code do something useful. The landscape for hardware designs is more complicated. The dominant design and simulation tools are proprietary, and there is not even a de-facto proprietary standard format to share designs. The Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Devroom looks at recent progress in Free CAD/EDA Tools for hardware design and simulation, and serves as a meeting place for discussion about future collaborations and FOSS developments. Come and see how some of these tools are actually catching up, and sometimes even more, in terms of features and quality.

NEEDS Berkeley Workshop 2016

Modelling using Verilog-A in MAPP: A Hands-On Workshop

8 AM - 6 PM
Thursday, Feb 4, 2016

University of California, Berkeley
Berkeley, CA 94720

Berkeley's Model and Algorithm Prototyping Platform (MAPP) is a MATLAB-based platform that provides a complete environment for developing, testing, experimentally validating, and inserting compact models in open source simulation platforms. It is also useful for prototyping new simulation algorithms.
This hands-on workshop will focus on the newly developed Verilog-A to ModSpec device model translator for MAPP, dubbed VAPP (Verilog-A Parser and Processor). The goal of the workshop is to illustrate how VAPP/MAPP facilitates the development of simulation ready compact models. An overview of MAPP's multi-physics modelling and simulation capabilities will also be provided. A hands-on refresher on MAPP will be provided for those who have no prior experience with it.
Please bring your laptop (running linux, OSX or Windows). It would be very helpful if you already have MATLAB installed and running on your laptop; otherwise you may need to access the hands-on components through the web.

For more information about MAPP, see: https://nanohub.org/groups/needs/mapp

Travel support will be available for NEEDS students. Please try to share a room, and ask your advisor to e-mail Mark Lundstrom at lundstro@purdue.edu for travel support.

For other questions, please contact Vicki Johnson at vicki@purdue.edu
