Post Doctoral Researcher, Electrical and Computer Engineering

Context of Job:

As a Post-Doctoral Researcher, you will support Prof. Yuping Zeng with the frontier of analog circuit design, implementation and characterization, preferably for neuromorphic computing with emerging devices. 

 Major Responsibilities:

• Plays a key role in the design of analog circuit with emerging devices developed in the group;
• Deep understanding of the device physics and the know-how of circuit design;
• Device fabrication, characterization, model extraction and apply device model in the circuit design;
• Circuit design optimization;
• Using Cadence for circuit design and ADS for RF circuit design;
• Circuit implementation and characterization;
• Plays a key role in helping and guiding graduate students.

You can select any of the following research areas that you feel competent on:

1. Devices: (1) High-frequency electronic devices: heterojunction bipolar transistors, high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs); (2) Low-power devices: novel transistors (tunneling field-effect transistors, and Non-silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, thin film transistors); (3) Light-emitting devices and high-speed detectors

2. Circuits: Analog circuits for Neuromorphic computing

Qualifications:

• PhD required at the time of hire
• 1-year analog circuit design experience preferred
• Know how to design circuit using one or more of the software listed (Cadence; Fluent use of LT-Spice, Verilog-A, Python, ADS, ICCAP, etc.)
• Know how to perform circuit analysis and characterization
