Government Positions

Received October 25, 1996

The Optoelectronics Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Boulder, Colorado is seeking a post-doctoral researcher to conduct research in the areas of optical disc characterization or optical fiber sensors. Expertise in one or more of the following is desired: polarimetry and retardance measurements, optical disc characterization, atomic force microscopy, or fiberoptic systems. US Citizenship or permanent residency is required. This post-doc appointment has the potential of converting to a permanent NIST position; we hope to create a permanent position in 1997.

Please send a letter detailing interests and qualifications to:

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP SEMICONDUCTOR OPTOELECTRONICS NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS and TECHNOLOGY

The Optoelectronics Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado seeks to fill an immediate postdoctoral research position in the area of epitaxial crystal growth of III-V semiconductors for optoelectronics applications. The appointee will be part of a team which operates a gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (GSMBE) facility and applies advanced measurement techniques towards materials growth and characterization and advanced device development. Present project efforts include in-situ optical monitoring during arsenide-compound growth and vertical-cavity devices, and are expanding to include phosphide-compound materials and devices. Applicants should preferably have experience with toxic gases used in gas-source III-V crystal growth and one or more of the following areas: GSMBE (especially MOMBE/CBE), optoelectronic device processing, and characterization of III-V epitaxial layers (preferably in-situ). The appointment is for two years, subject to annual reviews, and can extend to a third year depending on resources. Annual stipend range is from $37,000 to $45,500. Candidates must be US citizens or permanent residents and must commence the fellowship within five years of attaining the Ph.D. Applicants should submit a resume, transcripts, and three letters of reference to: Postdoctoral Fellowship Committee, c/o Dr. David Christensen, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Mail Stop 815.04, 325 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado, 80303-3328. NIST is an equal opportunity employer.

Naval Research Laboratory (Optical Sciences Division) has an opening for a ASEE post-doc working in the area of ultrafast studies of semiconductor materials and devices. The candidate must be familiar with femtosecond laser sources (Ti:Sapphire preferable), and have experimental experience with standard pump-probe techniques. Although the work is primarily experimental, a good theoretical understanding of semiconductor and device physics is definitely beneficial.

US Citizenship is required since this is a military lab.

I can be contacted via phone, e-mail, or snail-mail as on the signature. I think e-mail would be most convenient.
