Applications are invited for a research assistant position in the transmission electron microscope based characterisation of antimonide semiconductor heterostructures grown on silicon. This post will be held between the School of Physics and Astronomy and the School of Engineering. On a day to day level, you will work under the supervision of Drs Ian MacLaren and Damien McGrouther in Physics and Astronomy, but as part of the MIRAGE (Mid IR Active Component Growth by Molecular Beam Epitaxy) programme led at the University of Glasgow by Prof Iain Thayne in the School of Engineering. As such, you will be expected to participate in regular project meetings in Engineering and elsewhere in Scotland, as well as working closely with another RA based in Engineering principally responsible for the heterostructure growth.

This post has been created through the funding by Scottish Enterprise and CENSIS of the MIRAGE project, involving the University of Glasgow, Compound Semiconductor Technology Global Ltd, Gas Sensing Solutions Ltd, Amethyst Research Ltd, and Cascade Technologies Ltd.

Possessing a good first degree, and ideally a completed or almost complete PhD, you will have experience of using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for the characterisation of crystalline inorganic materials, and a good understanding of its principles of operation, practical skills in the preparation of specimens for TEM, and excellent IT skills including the use of electron microscopy specific software packages.
