Job Description
We are seeking a motivated and skilled Research Assistant to join our team, focusing on the development and characterization of advanced 2D materials. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting projects related to the growth, optimization, and detailed analysis of thin films for next-generation electronic devices.
Key Responsibilities:
- Materials Growth and Synthesis: Conduct thin-film deposition using techniques like Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) to synthesize 2D materials like MoS2 and other materials. Optimize growth parameters to achieve desired thickness, crystallinity, and uniformity.
- Characterization and Analysis: Utilize Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy for in-depth material characterization, focusing on morphology, surface roughness, grain size, and crystallinity.
- Data Collection and Analysis: Systematically document experimental procedures, collect data, and analyze results. Interpret findings to drive improvements in synthesis protocols and optimize film properties.
- Research Documentation: Prepare comprehensive reports, summarize research findings, and present data to support ongoing projects and publications.
- Collaboration and Lab Support: Work closely with team members, provide support for collaborative experiments, and maintain laboratory equipment.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, or a related field.
- Demonstrated experience with CVD, AFM, SEM, and other characterization tools for thin films and nanomaterials.
- Proficiency in handling 2D materials with a strong focus on growth and sulfurization processes.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively, with excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in materials science, focusing on 2D materials for advanced electronics. If you have a strong foundation in materials synthesis and characterization and are eager to develop innovative solutions, we encourage you to apply.
