Research Fellow (Device Fabrication & Characterization)

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is one of the founding Schools of the Nanyang Technological University. Built on a culture of excellence, the School is renowned for its high academic standards and research. With over 3,000 undergraduates students and 2,000 graduate students it is one of the largest EEE schools in the world and ranks 4th in the field of Electrical & Electronic Engineering in the 2025 QS World University Rankings by Subjects. Today, the School has become one of the world's largest engineering schools that nurtures competent engineers and researchers. Each year, the School graduates over a thousand students who are ready to take on great ambitions and challenges.

The position will be based at the LUMINOUS! Centre of Excellence for Semiconductor Lighting and Displays, a leading research centre under EEE. LUMINOUS! focuses on semiconductor device research, fabrication, and applications in next-generation lighting, displays, and electronics. With state-of-the-art cleanroom and characterization facilities, the centre brings together interdisciplinary expertise in materials science, device engineering, and system integration to address key challenges in energy-efficient and sustainable technologies.

We are looking for a Research Fellow (Device Fabrication & Characterization) to advance research in semiconductor device technologies, including LEDs, photodetectors, solar cells, transistors, and electrically driven single-photon diodes (SPDs). The role will focus on device fabrication, nanofabrication techniques, optical cavity design, and advanced electrical/optical characterization. The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting the LUMINOUS! Centre of Excellence for Semiconductor Lighting and Displays, contributing to NTU's mission of pioneering world-class research in energy-efficient, sustainable, and next-generation electronics and optoelectronics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and fabricate semiconductor devices including LEDs, photodetectors, solar cells, transistors, and single-photon diodes (SPDs) using cleanroom-based nanofabrication techniques (thin-film deposition, etching, etc.).
• Develop and integrate optical cavities for advanced optoelectronic devices.
• Conduct electrical, optical, and structural characterization of devices.
• Develop new fabrication methodologies for advanced materials integration.
• Collaborate with team members, graduate students, and external partners on joint research projects.
• Prepare research reports, high-impact journal publications, and conference presentations.
• Contribute to grant applications, project management, and laboratory safety.
• Mentor junior researchers and provide technical support on device-related experiments.

Job Requirements:

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Strong hands-on expertise in semiconductor device fabrication, including LEDs, photodetectors, solar cells, transistors, and electrically driven single-photon diodes (SPDs).
• Proficiency in cleanroom-based nanofabrication processes (e.g., thin-film deposition, etching, doping).
• Experience in optical cavity design and integration for optoelectronic and quantum devices.
• Skilled in electrical and optical characterization techniques (e.g., probe stations, photoluminescence, electroluminescence, spectroscopy).
• Strong knowledge of device physics for semiconductor lighting, displays, and quantum optoelectronics.
• Demonstrated ability to publish in high-impact journals and present at international conferences.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, and time management skills.
