Lancaster University is seeking a highly motivated researcher to work on a EC project. The project is funded by EU ATTRACT programme in collaboration with 5 partners from 4 different countries and aims to develop advanced interband cascade quantum structures to enable widely tuneable LEDs/lasers operating in mid-wavelength infrared spectral range.

The project requires expertise in molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth of compound semiconductors, device processing and assessment. Experience of MBE growth of type 2 quantum materials and interband cascade lasers are favourable.

You should hold, or shortly expect to obtain, a PhD in Physics, Electronic Engineering or a related discipline. Experience is required in MBE growth, semiconductor characterisation and device fabrication in a cleanroom environment.

Appointment as a Research Associate is dependent on having a PhD, including those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD (in which case appointment will initially be made at research assistant - Grade 5, and amended to research associate - Grade 7, when the PhD is awarded).

Fixed-term: The fund for this post is available for 6 months in the first instance.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
