Assistant Project Scientist in Materials

The Materials Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is seeking an Assistant Project Scientist to pursue innovative research in collaboration with Professor Steven Den Baars and Professor Shuji Nakamura. The successful candidate will be involved in advanced photonic devices based on III-Nitrides semiconductors. This will include MOCVD growth, chip fabrication, and testing of GaN and its alloys for optoelectronic applications as well as projects on UV laser diodes and Micro

LEDs. Specific expertise in the epitaxial lift-off with porous GaN and growth of UVA and UVB lasers and LEDs. Knowledge of advanced semiconductor fabrication technologies for compound semiconductors devices is preferable. The position will involve project management and supervision of graduate student researchers and visiting researchers on the Micro-LED and COVID-19 UV LED and laser projects.
