Postdoctoral Researcher in Radiation Effects in Power Electronics

University of Jyväskylä

Jyväskylä, Finland

€ 3700 - € 4300 per month gross

The postdoctoral researcher will develop radiation testing guidelines for wide-bandgap (WBG) power electronics technologies, such as silicon carbide (SiC)- and gallium nitride (GaN)-based power devices. Tasks will include:

• Review of published studies in radiation effects, failure mechanisms and test practices specific to WBG materials
• Radiation effects testing of WBG-based components and developing the test methodologies based on existing practices
• Drafting of application-specific guidelines on test setup and procedures for radiation testing of WBG devices: Deliverable D3.2
• Depending on the researcher's skillset and preferences, the work may also include developing the experimental setup and data acquisition and analysis software.

Who should apply

We are looking for a candidate who matches the following requirements:

• PhD in a suitable field such as experimental physics or electronics
• Knowledge/experience in as many as possible of the following areas/techniques is considered an advantage:
  • Accelerator-based physics
  • Electronic circuit design
  • Electrical measurements
  • Power electronics and wide-bandgap materials
  • Simulation tools, such as Geant4, TCAD and molecular dynamics
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken, are required

The duties, qualification requirements, and language skills of a postdoctoral researcher are stipulated by the University of Jyväskylä Regulations and language skills guidelines. The PhD degree required for the position must have been completed before the starting date. A trial period of six months will be used in the beginning of the employment.
