Postdoctoral Research Assistant - in Thermo-Mechanical Modelling of GaN Electronics and Packaging
University of Bristol
Reference: 14286
Research Subject: Physics
Salary: £28,000 - £38,000
Job Type: Fixed term contract
Job Hours: Full-time
Location: Bristol
Description: Based in the Department of Physics, you will work in the Applied Spectroscopy Group and the Centre for Device Thermography and Reliability. We are a world-leading Centre, based on key technologies developed in Bristol for high spatial and high time resolution thermal and stress analysis of semiconductor devices. The group is active in several EU/US/UK programmes.
We currently have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher in thermo-mechanical modelling and the thermal and stress study of GaN electronics/transistors and its packaging. This position benefits from our world-wide leading thermal and stress analysis expertise of semiconductor devices. This post is a key position in developing novel high thermal conductivity composite materials for high-power electronics packaging and is part of our involvement in the European EU Framework 7 program AGAPAC, with partners from France, Spain and Austria, which aims at developing next generation high-power packaging materials and packages, targeted for GaN electronics. The position is focused on thermo-mechanical modelling of devices and their packaging, i.e., the simulation of temperature and thermal stresses emerging, which are key factors for reliability. The post also involves a small experimental component to validate the simulations, benefiting from unique Raman Thermography technology developed in Bristol based on Raman scattering spectroscopy. For further details see http://spectra.phy.bris.ac.uk.
You will have postgraduate experience in modelling/simulation in physics, material science or engineering. Experience in using thermo-mechanical modelling software codes, such as ANSYS, would be highly desirable, and also interest in complementary experimental assessment of devices and their packaging to experimentally validate the simulations. A willingness to supervise graduate students is necessary. APPLICATIONS MUST BE MADE BY FOLLOWING THE UNIVERSITY’S APPLICATION PROCEDURE.
