Postdoctoral researcher in Materials Modelling for Devices
Location:
Cork, Co. Cork
Description:
Postdoctoral researcher in Materials Modelling for Devices Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term Tyndall National Institute invites applications to a full time 12 month postdoc researcher position in the Materials Modelling for Devices group, headed by Dr. Michael Nolan, to investigate new thermal, self-limiting atomic layer etch chemistries using multiscale atomistic simulations. Reporting to the Head of Group – Materials Modelling for Devices in the Tyndall MicroNanoSystems Centre, the researcher will be responsible for leading the work on using multi-scale simulations to model novel thermal atomic layer etching chemistries. The position is supported by a Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) project supported by Intel.The overall aim of this project is to explore the chemistry of self-limiting thermal atomic layer etching (tALE) which is being deployed for precise, controlled etching of a range of materials with a view to applying this in the fabrication of next generation semiconductor devices where complex 3D structure and ultra thin films are required. While there has been some significant advances in thermal ALE [doi:10.1021/acs.accounts.0c00084, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pnsc.2018.11.003, https://doi.org/10.1116/6.0000894] and the MMD group at Tyndall has pioneered the atomistic simulation of thermal ALE of metal oxides and metals [doi:10.1021/acs.chemmater.8b01930, https://chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/article-details/6183ac019b583aca9deb1f67 , http://dx.doi.org/10.1116/6.0000804 , https://pure.ulster.ac.uk/ws/files/85689489/ALE_Manuscript.pdf] , there are still many open questions. This project aims to understand the role of surface orientation, surface defects and terminations, find alternatives to HF and develop libraries of tALE process chemistries.The role requires a strong background and PhD in chemistry/materials/sold state physics, focussed on simulation of surface chemistry and relevant processes. In addition, some experience with programming and machine learning will be a significant benefit.As part of this role the candidate will take training and development opportunities at Tyndall and UCC to drive their wider training and career development. Key Responsibilities Managing research on multiscale simulation of thermal atomic layer etching chemistry Use first principles simulations for simulation of process chemistry. Develop machine learning models to accelerate thermal ALE simulations Liaise with industry sponsors and present results of their research Engage with SRC programs, such as TECHCON, the yearly SRC scholar researcher conference in the USA. Delivering high quality research outputs and publishing results in highest quality scientific and technical publications (targeting 1st quartile) Promoting Open Science within the group. Clear commitment to personal and career development Mentor junior researchers such as final year project students or summer fellows Participate in Education and Public Engagement activities, as required. Ensure all activities are compliant with the Tyndall Quality Management system and ensure the required Health and Safety standards. Carry out any additional duties as may reasonably be required within the general scope and level of the post. Essential Criteria Background in surface chemistry, materials chemistry and/or solid state physics Deep knowledge of simulation methods Relevant peer reviewed publications in the field. Completed PhD viva or PhD submitted. Commitment to personal training and development Desirable Criteria Evidence of creative skills/creativity Exposure to machine learning. Excellent communication skills to interact with a range of researchers. Commitment to Open Science, e.g. open access publications, codes and/or research data Tyndall National institute has a proactive entrepreneurial culture, and we welcome applications from candidates who possess entrepreneurial and creative skills/experience, including the creation of technology start-ups. What we offer Individual Development Plans: postdoc researchers work with their supervisors to create detailed training and career “roadmaps” that take into account their interests and aspirations as well as the business needs of their Centre and the Institute. Opportunities for travel to conferences and project meetings Opportunities for Outreach and public engagement activities Appointment may be made on the IUA Scale for Postdoctoral Researcher €43,908 - €50,302 pa. Salary placement on appointment will be in accordance with public sector pay policy.Informal enquiries can be made in confidence to Dr. Michael Nolan ( XXXX@tyndall.ie )Closing date of applications is 12th July, 2024 APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Please make sure to attach an up to date CV/Resume AND a brief motivation letter outlining how you meet the ‘Essential Criteria’ for this role. Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.The University, at its discretion, may undertake to make an additional appointment(s) from this competition following the conclusion of the process.Please note that an appointment to posts advertised will be dependent on University approval, together with the terms of the employment control framework for the higher education sector.At this time, Tyndall National Institute does not require the assistance of recruitment agencies.Tyndall National Institute at University College, Cork is an Equal Opportunities Employer.Powered by JazzHR
