Nanyang Technological University (NTU) invites applications for a position of Assistant Professor/Associate Professor (Tenure-track) in "High-frequency III-Nitride Growth, Device design and Fabrication".

We are seeking a candidate who will develop, lead and sustain research of an international standard in "High-frequency III-Nitride Growth, Device design, Fabrication and Characterisation". The candidate should possess strong experimental and theoretical expertise in III-Nitride growth and/or device design and fabrication for devices (e.g. HEMTs, MISHEMTs, FinFETs etc.) for high-power and high-frequency applications.

This position will be held at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE). Areas and priorities that we wish to develop and support through this appointment include:
- III-Nitride epitaxial growth on various substrates (Si, SiC, diamond etc.) using MOCVD.
- III-Nitride epitaxial wafer characterisation techniques (e.g. Hall, XRD, PL etc).
- Design of advanced III-Nitride device structures particularly for high-power and high-frequency (microwave and millimeter-wave) applications.
- Semiconductor wafer fabrication processes including III-V compound semiconductor and/or CMOS-compatible wafer fabrication techniques.
- Electrical characterisation of devices including DC and RF techniques (e.g. semiconductor parameter analyser, pulsed I-V, signal and large signal RF measurements etc.), and reliability.

Responsibilities
- Develop and lead an innovative research programme of international quality.
- Publish high quality papers in reputable peer-reviewed journals.
- Secure competitive research grants.
