Applications are invited for a postdoctoral scholar position in WBG & UWBG semiconductors in the Lee Lab at Texas State University. The group’s research focuses on electronic materials, with a specialization in wide‑bandgap oxide semiconductors and microscopy characterization. We are particularly interested in candidates with strong knowledge in the areas of WBG & UWBG semiconductors, nanofabrication, and electrical/materials characterization. Preference will be given to applicants with extensive experience in one or more of the following areas:

• WBG & UWBG semiconductors process integration and device fabrication.
• Oxides and Nitrides thin‑film growth/deposition with PVD/CVD/ALD.
• Scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) characterizations.

The appointment will be in the Department of Physics at Texas State University, working with Dr. Ming‑Hsun Lee. The position is available immediately for an initial one‑year appointment, with the possibility of extension based on performance and/or external funding.

• Candidates should hold (or soon to obtain) a Ph.D. degree in Physics, Engineering, or a closely related discipline, and demonstrate potential for outstanding research in electronic materials and devices.
