JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS

The Department of Electrical Engineering at Penn State University is seeking to fill a Postdoctoral Scholar position in RF & mmWave integrated circuits (ICs) and systems to start in the Spring of 2025. The postdoc will work on topics related to sub-THz circuits, beamformer design, heterogenous integration, and antenna-in-package under the supervision of Prof. Wooram Lee. The postdoctoral scholar is expected to work in a highly collaborative environment where packaging, thermal, and electromagnetics engineers will collaborate to develop the next generation of microelectronics.

More information about our research can be found on: High-Speed Integrated Circuits Lab Professor Wooram Lee.

Requirements Applicants must have a PhD in electrical engineering by the start date with a strong focus in analog and RF integrated circuits. The candidates must have expertise in mmWave circuit design using advanced CMOS or SiGe process, electromagnetic simulations using HFSS and EMX, antenna design, and beamformers. This is a term appointment funded for one year from the date of hire, with additional years of funding available if there is mutual interest.
