About the Job
Postdoctoral Positions in the Optical Engineering of Organic
SemiconductorsDepartment of Chemical Engineering & Materials
ScienceUniversity of MinnesotaWe seek 1 to 2 postdoctoral
associates for a joint project on engineering the optical behavior
(e.g. birefringence, polarization behavior) of crystalline and
polycrystalline organic semiconductor materials. Ideal candidates
will have experience in combinations of the following areas:
organic thin film and crystal growth, structural characterization
by X-ray diffraction, ellipsometry of anisotropic materials, and
electrical and optical measurements (especially measurements of
OLEDs and light polarization behavior). Experience in simulating
and modeling optical phenomenon in anisotropic optical media is
also desired. Postdoctoral scholars will work in the Frisbie and
Holmes research groups with access to a variety of state-of-the-art
instrumentation for growth and characterization of organic
materials and devices, including multiple film deposition systems,
crystal growth apparatus, electrical and spectroscopic
characterization tools, force microscopes, probe stations, a
nanoimprinter and an aerosol jet printer. Central facilities
including the Minnesota Nano Center and the Materials
Characterization Facility provide a vast array of additional
instrumentation resources. Candidates should be independent,
possess excellent organization and communication abilities, and be
comfortable interacting regularly with external stakeholders. We
seek to fill these positions immediately. Qualified candidates will
have a PhD in materials science, chemical engineering, electrical
engineering, chemistry, physics, or a related discipline, and
should be motivated to work in a stimulating interdisciplinary
environment.
Sample preparation and characterization 70%
Data analysis and simulation 25%
Preparation of reports and presentations for sponsor 5%
Qualifications
Required Qualifications: Ph.D. in Physics/Materials
Science/Electrical Engineering/Chemistry. Experience working with
organic semiconductor thin films and devices.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience with the fabrication and
characterization of organic semiconductor thin films and their
integration into light-emitting devices. Strong understanding of
optical properties of organic semiconductor thin films and the role
of molecular orientation. Experience with table-top optics and
spectroscopy.
