Post Doctoral Fellows (at Surface Science Laboratory)
   (Posted on 25 Mar' 2008)

 

Job Title	Post Doctoral Fellows
Faculty / Department	Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Initiative (NUSNNI)
Deadline	May 31, 2008
Job Description	Research positions are available for a project on the Mechanical Characterization and Modeling of Nanomaterials. The purpose of the research is to develop capabilities and techniques to perform nanomechanical testing of nanostructures and nanomaterials including nanotubes, nanorods and nanowires. Computations using atomistic and molecular dynamics simulation will also be performed and results compared with that of experiments.  It is hoped that the results obtained will be useful in the design and analysis of materials and structures used in NEMS/MEMS so as to ensure their integrity and functionality.
Requirements	The candidate should possess a PhD from a reputable University and have strong expertise and interests in one or more of these areas: synthesis of nanomaterials and mechanical characterization. Candidates with background in materials (especially nanomaterials) and mechanics are preferred. The appointment can commence immediately. Gross monthly salary will commensurate with qualifications and experience. Leave and medical benefits will be provided. Candidates of all nationalities will be considered for this position.
Contact	Applicants should send his/her curriculum vitae via email to: ·        A/Prof LIM Chwee Teck     We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.

 

Job Title	Post Doctoral Fellows
Faculty / Department	National University of Singapore Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Initiative (NUSNNI) @ Department of Physics, Surface Science Laboratory
Deadline	May 01, 2008
Job Description	A two-years, renewable contract under Prof. Andrew T S Wee at the Surface Science Lab of Physics Department. Successful candidates will join a recently funded multidisciplinary research program of “Graphene related materials and devices”, which totally supports more than 18 postdoc fellows in 5 years. The fellows will focus on: (i) physical methods to produce high quality graphene on different substrates, such as on metals, semiconductors or oxides; or (ii) surface modification and characterization of graphene. The Surface Science Laboratory is one of the major research laboratories in NUS with numerous international journal publications, patents and industrial collaboration. The laboratory houses a total of four ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) surface science systems, including Omicron LT-STM (5K or 77K) with LEED and organic MBE chamber, VT-STM with LEED and XPS, VG-ESCA lab with UPS and XPS, and SIMS (Cameca IMS 6f), along with an array of thin film growth systems, and other characterization equipments. In addition, we operate a synchrotron beamline and end-station at the Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS).
Requirements	- PhD in Physics or a related discipline from a renowned University - Research experience: surface modification of thin films via chemical or physical   methods, or working at a synchrotron end station with x-ray spectroscopic   techniques such as PES, XAS, NEXAFS will be an added advantage; - Good experimental skills, particularly with vacuum equipment and electronics, or   surface modification using various chemical or physical schemes; - A good track record of own research, preferably related to graphene,   nanoscience and nanotechnology, thin films, solid state physics, materials   science, and related fields - Good planning, organizational, interpersonal and communication skills - Meticulous, resourceful, independent, service-oriented and multi-tasking - Excellent knowledge of English - Good computer literacy, software programming skills an added advantage
Contact	These positions are tenable initially for a contract of 2 years, with the option of renewal for another 2 years. Remuneration will be commensurate with qualification and experience. Please send your application with a resume, list of publications, a one page description of proposed research work, at least two letters of reference, copies of supporting documents (educational certificates, testimonials etc), and a recent photograph to:   Prof Andrew T S Wee Department of Physics, National University of Singapore 2 Science Drive 3, Singapore 117542 Email: phyweets@nus.edu.sg; Fax: +65-67776126 http://www.physics.nus.edu.sg/~phyweets/ We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
