Job Description: Applications are invited for a DCI postdoctoral fellow at the Center for High Techonology Materials (University of New Mexico) to develop next generation nanoscale sensors in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratory. The mission of the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program is to establish long-term relationships and mentoring of postdoctoral researchers and to provide research institutes with an understanding of the Intelligence Community's research requirements. Click here for more info. Eligibility: The postdoctoral applicant has to be US citizen with a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics or a closely related field with thorough knowledge about III-V optoelectronic materials and devices. Contact Person: If you are interested in this position, kindly contact, Dr Sanjay Krishna Assistant. Professor, Center for High Technology Materials (EECE Dept) 1313, Goddard Street SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 Phone: (505) 272 7892 Fax: (505) 272-7801 Email: skrishna@chtm.unm.edu  Job Description: Multiple openings are available for post-doctoral fellows in Prof. Sanjay Krishna’s group at the Center for High Technology Materials (CHTM), University of New Mexico. In the past few years, CHTM has developed world-class optoelectronics and microelectronics research programs. Research in Prof. Krishna’s group involves studying the physics of III-V semiconductor materials and their application to mid infrared optoelectronic devices. These positions involve investigation of the III-V epitaxial materials growth, fabrication and characterization of semiconductor materials for mid infrared detectors and focal plane arrays. In the research-conducive environment offered by CHTM, it is hoped that the post-doctoral fellows will be able to develop and hone their research skills and also provide mentoring to the students in Prof. Krishna’s research group. It must be noted that the researchers would be given a lot of freedom to undertake independent research. Every effort will be made to provide the candidates with mentorship to achieve their career goals. However, in order to justify the inclusion of a senior researcher to the funding agency, sufficient progress on the project is expected. Eligibility: PhD in Electrical Engineering/Materials Science/Physics or a closely related field with thorough knowledge about III-V optoelectronic materials and devices. Candidates with experience will be preferred. One of the positions require the post doctoral fellow to be a US Citizen.
