Posting Number req18846
Department Aerospace & Mechanical Engr
Department Website Link https://ame.engineering.arizona.edu/
Location Main Campus
Address Tucson, AZ USA
Position Highlights The Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, at the University of Arizona, seeks a highly motivated individual to work on nanoscale thermal imaging of an operating electronic device. The successful candidate will participate in research in the Nano-Electronics and Advanced Materials (NEAM) Research Lab directed by Dr. Qing Hao.

The position is full-time and on-site at the University of Arizona in Tucson. We are looking for a candidate who will fabricate the nano-sensors used for the thermal scanning based on an atomic force microscope (AFM). The candidate will lead the nanofabrication of sensor-integrated AFM probes and hold effective communications with our collaborator (Prof. Liping Wang’s group at Arizona State University) for AFM operations. The developed thermal scanning capability can lead to unprecedented information on the nanoscale temperature distribution within an electronic device, which is critical to the thermal management of such devices.

This is a year-to-year appointment, contingent upon funding and performance.

Outstanding UA benefits include health, dental, vision, and life insurance; paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays; UA/ASU/NAU tuition reduction for the employee and qualified family members; access to UA recreation and cultural activities; and more!

The University of Arizona has been recognized for our innovative work-life programs. For more information about working at the University of Arizona and relocations services, please click here .
