Dr. Ben Klein and Dr. Doug Yoder of the Computational Electronics Group at
the Georgia Institute of Technology are seeking a well-qualified person
holding a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or Physics for a postdoctoral
research position. The successful candidate will have a strong background
in scientific numerical simulation programming and semiconductor physics.
The position will involve planning, coding, testing, and documenting
a one-dimensional simulation of the active region of an InGaN-based quantum
well laser diode. It is anticipated that this code will include drift-diffusion
and thermionic emission carrier transport models, as well as carrier-carrier
and carrier-phonon capture models for the quantum well. Significant numerical
convergence issues associated with the strong polarization fields in the
nitride material system are likely, so relevant experience is a plus.
The salary for this position will be competitive, and is
expected to range between $50,000 and $60,000 per year, depending on the
qualifications of the candidate. The position start date is in April 2008
or earlier, and will last for 12-15 months, with extensions possible
based on funding. International candidates will be considered.
The position will be based at the Savannah campus of Georgia
Tech, but special arrangements (e.g., remote office) are
possible for exceptional candidates. For more information,
please contact Dr. Benjamin Klein
(bklein@gatech.edu).
