Postdoctoral Fellow – Vacuum Plasma deposition processes for ultrathin electronic materials

A post-doctoral position is available in A/Prof Daniel Chua's group. You will be part of an initiative to use vacuum plasma deposition techniques such as PLD to deposit ultrathin electronic films. Your work will include testing the pulse laser parameters, and work on advanced characterisation techniques such as HRTEM. Some in-situ XRD/TEM work will also be included. Having knowledge in nano-fabrication work is optional but very useful here.

You will also work closely with the PI to develop novel ultrathin materials while having some flexibility in exploring your own ideas and participate in grant-writing processes. You will also have some supervision experience (Masters-level) which in all, will be useful for your next career step.

Fresh PhD graduates are welcome but should have the relevant experiences during the graduate studies. Early submission is encouraged as applications are processed immediately. The positions will remain open until filled.

To apply: Please email A/P Daniel Chua directly at: danielchua@nus.edu.sg

About the Group

A./P Daniel Chua's group specialises in materials synthesis of ultrathin nanomaterials. Synthesis process ranges from plasma-based deposition system to powder processing, sol-gel methods and CVD processes. Materials studies further include in-situ characterisation capabilities such as XRD, XPS and TEM. These synthesized materials have been used in a wide range of applications, from proton-exchange membrane and solid-oxide fuel cells to water splitting, electrochemical supercapacitors and semiconductor work.
