EMPLOYMENT 1. Immediate Opening(s) for Research Scientists and Postdoctoral Fellows (positions in each of the following areas) Employer: University of California, Berkeley The NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (SINAM) at the University of California at Berkeley has immediate openings for Postdoctoral Fellows, and Graduate Students in the fields of Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and Bio/Nano Technologies. Candidates must have excellent written and oral English skills. The NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (SINAM) was established as a collaboration of six institutions: UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, Stanford, UC San Diego, University of North Carolina and HP Labs. SINAM conducts fundamental scientific research and development toward cutting edge technologies in nano-photonics, nano-electronics, and biomedicine. The successful candidates will join a very active interdisciplinary group in SINAM. These positions will give ambitious researchers an excellent opportunity to develop their scientific careers. Bio/nano Science and Technologies Candidates from the Biological sciences and engineering will explore the intersection of Nanotechnology and Bio-science. This includes, but is not limited to Neurobiology, Nano/bio interface, and Nano-bio-sensors and devices. Positions are available for candidates with experience in one or more of the following topics: single molecule biophysics, single molecule spectroscopy/imaging (FRET, fluorescence, Raman, CARS, etc), and chemical/bio synthesis and functionization of nano-structures. The research will be conducted in close collaboration with nano-fabrication and nano-photonic researchers in the group. Candidates possessing strong initiative to propose and drive their own research are particularly encouraged to apply. Nano-scale Fabrication and Chemical Synthesis Positions are available for Chemists, Physicists, Material Scientists and Engineers with extensive experience using several of the major top-down and/or bottom-up techniques for fabricating nano-structures (e.g. EBL, FIB, ALD and VLS in particular). Hands-on experience of working in a clean-room facility is preferred. Experience in chemical/bio synthesis and functionization of nano-structures (template, electrochemical, etc) will also be considered. In addition to natural experimental flair, candidates should also have an in-depth understanding of the chemistry and physics of micro and nano fabrication and synthesis. Candidates possessing experience with the ALD or VLS growth of nanowires are particularly encouraged to apply. Nano-optics, Plasmonics and Metamaterials. We seek both theoretical and experimental candidates. Experimental: Intuitive candidates with a flair for creative experimentation in the optical near and far fields. Experimentalists with experience in NSOM, FTIR, non-linear optics and optical instrumentation are encouraged to apply. Previous experience in nano-optics and metamaterials is preferred. Solid training in optics and solid state physics would be beneficial, as candidates will be expected to work closely with theorists. Theoretical: With a strong physics background and demonstrated creativity in electromagnetic and solid state theory, candidates will contribute to the group’s research on nano-optics, plasmonic structures and metamaterials in the visible and IR bands. Analytical and numerical skills in addition to the ability to work closely with experimentalists will be crucial for the physics-based design of nano-optical components and devices. Graduate Students with strong drive are also encouraged to apply for research assistantships and fellowships.
To Apply For all positions, please send (1) a cover letter indicating which position you are applying for and the earliest date that you would be available to start, (2) a one-page statement of current and future research interests, (3) a curriculum vitae with full list of publications, and (4) the names and contacts of at least two references.
