Postdoctoral position on advanced semiconductor devices at URV, in Tarragona, Spain

The Nanoelectronic and Photonic Systems (NEPHOS) Group at the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Control Engineering (DEEEiA) of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV) in Tarragona, Spain, is looking for candidades for a Postdoctoral position funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science.

Candidates which obtained their Ph.D. between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019 can apply. The duration of this position is 3 years. Candidates must have performed significant contributions in the field of semiconductor devices during their Ph.D. or later, and this has to be demonstrated by a good number of publications.

Depending on the candidate's background, there are several options for the research project to carry out:

1. Organic TFT technology: fabrication, characterization and modeling.
2. Organic solar cells technology: fabrication, characterization and modeling.
3. Modeling (in particular compact modeling) and electrical characterization of 2D semiconductor FETs.
4. Modeling (in particular compact modeling) and electrical characterization of nanowire FETs.

The NEPHOS Group at URV is currently working on the physics, characterization and modeling (in particular compact modeling) of emerging devices, and also in the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured organic photovoltaic devices. Regarding emerging devices, the present interests of the group at URV are the characterization and modeling of nanowire MOSFETs, GaN HEMTs, Graphene and 2D semiconductor FETs and organic and oxide TFTs. Other interests are the fabrication of polymeric TFTs and the modeling of organic solar cells.

Candidates must send their CVs, by March 26 2022 to Prof. Benjamin Iñiguez (Fellow, IEEE)

Tarragona is about 100 Km south from Barcelona, on the coast (the so-called "Costa Daurada", Golden Coast). Traveling to Tarragona from Barcelona is easier. There are frequent direct buses between Tarragona and Barcelona Airport, and also frequent trains between Tarragona and Barcelona. Besides, from some European cities it is possible to fly to Reus Airport, which is about 10 Km from Tarragona.

Tarragona is one of the most important hubs of tourism in Europe, not only because of the nice beaches around the city, but also because of its historical landmarks.. Tarragona was a very important city of the Roman Empire. In 2000 UNESCO committee officially declared the Roman archaeological complex of Tarraco (name of Tarragona during the Roman Empire) 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.
