Postdoctoral Scholar Position Announcement (February 2009) - CLOSED
-
The University of California, Davis is recruiting for a Postdoctoral Scholar to conduct research into piezoelectric MEMS sensors and actuators and piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducers (pMUTs). The research will be conducted at the UC Davis campus under the direction of Professor David Horsley, the UC Davis co-director of the Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center (BSAC).
Successful candidates should have a strong background and experience in the following areas: thin-film process technology including lithography, deposition, and etching; device modeling using analytical and finite element analysis (FEA) methods; material and device characterization techniques. Familiarity and experience with piezoelectric materials is desirable.
Qualifications: A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. The Ph.D. must have been conferred within the past five years. The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility for extension.
Qualified applicants should submit a formal letter of interest, a curriculum vitae, and two to three references to: Professor David Horsley, Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, UC Davis, 1 Shields Ave. Davis CA 95616. Submit electronic applications to: Professor David Horsley, dahorsley@ucdavis.edu.
Job opening for a post-doctoral researcher - CLOSED
