postdoc: ab initio simulation of million atom transistors



Joint postdoctoral positions (1-2) of Institue of Semiconductors Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOSCAS, Beijing,http://www.semi.ac.cn ) and Material Science Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL, Berkeley CA, http://www.lbl.gov ) are now available. The work site is based in Beijing, while regular visit to LBNL is available (half of the duration). The co-advisers include Prof. Shu-Shen Li (director) of IOSCAS, and Prof. Lin-Wang Wang in LBNL (http://cmsn.lbl.gov/index.php?topic=people ).
The successful candidates are expected to carry out researches on fully ab initio simulations of industrial level million atom field-effect transistors (FETs) including the following features:
  1. Physics of surfaces and interfaces in industrial level semiconductor devices (most likely FETs): Understanding metal-semiconductor contact properties and carrier dynamics at dielectric (oxide)-semiconductor interfaces by pushing large scale ab initio simulations up to 10,000 atoms.
  2. Large scale ab initio quantum transport calculation methodology development based on plane waves and linear scaling techniques such as linear scaling three-dimensional fragment method and folded spectrum method. This effort is to scale the ab initio quantum transport calculation up to 100,000 atoms.
  3. Combine the above two to implement fully ab initio simulations of the whole industrial level semiconductor device containing all components (metal contact, dielectric interface, source-channel-drain, atomic dopant if necessary).
The candidates are required to have a PhD degree in condensed matter physics or material science. Experience on electronic structure theories (DFT and beyond), computational simulations of solids, nanostructures and nanodevices is preferred.
The gross salary will be $3,500 (USD) per month. A bonus based on annual publications will be available. IOSCAS provides a two bedroom apartment in Beijing. The positions are available for two years at the initial instance, with the possibility of extension based on mutual agreement.
The start date is immediate. Please send your CV, research statement (1 page) and contact information of 2 academic references, directly to Prof. Xiang-Wei Jiang by email (xwjiang@semi.ac.cn ). The search is open until the positions are filled. Informal inquiry can be made by contacting Prof. Jiang.

Two Fully-funded Postdoc Positions in Robotics and Intelligent Systems Group, University of Oslo, Norway




Department of Informatics
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Robotics and Intelligent Systems, 1 - 2 positions
1-2 positions as Postdoctoral research fellow is available at the Robotics and Intelligent Systems (ROBIN) group at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Norway (Norway's largest university department for education and research in Computer Science and related topics, see http://www.mn.uio.no/ifi/english), as a part of the Research Council of Norway funded project Multimodal Elderly Care Systems (MECS). The project aims at working with extending the capabilities of robot companions (in sensing, learning and prediction of future events) to be applied in elderly care at home.

The fellowships will be for a period of 3 years, possibly with an option for extension of the employment period by 4 months depending background and qualifications for additional duty work which typically includes work on courses (lecturing, preparation and organizing of exercises etc). We also have a number of international collaborators and having a stay of up to 6 months with one of these could be possible. The starting date is preferably no later than November 1st 2016.

Project description

The Robotics and Intelligent Systems research group focus on adaptive systems research often including biologically inspired methods. We target to apply these methods within robotics, programmable logic and applications like active music. We are interested in studying human and robotic motion using motion capture analysis and apply this knowledge in designing adaptive robotic or computing systems. We do rapid prototyping of robots with 3D-printers and milling machines.
In this project we are interested in making progress on equipping robot companions with complementary sensor systems to be able to sense the state of humans and their environment. Further, by modeling normal behavior and state of the human, we want to explore the possibility for predicting future non-normal behavior and events. This would be undertaken by an autonomous mobile robot compromising between privacy of the human and quality of the measurements. The candidate is planned to either be focusing on the sensing part or be working with behavior modeling and prediction. The candidate will be collaborating with a research fellow working in the other area and another research fellow specializing in user-oriented design methods for the robots.

Qualifications


The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition of being a leading research faculty. Candidates for this fellowship will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.
The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in computer science including robotics and machine learning/artificial intelligence (other degrees would be considered if qualifications match). Thus, applicants should have a strong background in programming and robotics and have knowledge about machine learning. Moreover, knowledge in the fields of motion tracking and analysis, sensor data analysis, biology-inspired techniques, rapid prototyping, simulation, and behavior modeling would be an advantage. The candidates should have experience with practical work as we expect the project to be working with testing and modifying robots for improved performance in their environment. In the application, please briefly describe the relevance of the Master/PhD thesis work and other project work relevant for the position. Please also briefly mention what part of the project you would be most qualified and motivated for working with. Applicants for the fellowship should have scientific publications, and both their quantity and quality (impact of the journal(s) and conference(s)) would be an important selection criteria.
The main purpose of post-doctoral research fellowships is to qualify researchers for work in top academic positions within their disciplines.
Please also refer to the regulations pertaining to the conditions of employment for post-doctoral fellowship positions:
http://www.uio.no/english/about/regulations/personnel/academic/regulations-employment-conditions-postdoc.html

A good command of English is required.
In summary, the selection of the candidate(s) for the position would be based on relevant knowledge and experience in the areas described above, education results and scientific publications.

Salary:
Position code 1352, NOK 512 700 – 567 100 per year, (Pay Grade: 60 – 65) depending on qualifications and seniority.

We offer:
a challenging and stimulating working environment attractive welfare benefits

Introduction

The University of Luxembourg has the following vacancy in the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB, http://wwwen.uni.lu/lcsb). The LCSB is accelerating biomedical research by closing the link between systems biology and medical research. Collaboration between biologists, medical doctors, computer scientists, physicists and mathematicians is offering new insights in complex systems like cells, organs, and organisms. These insights are essential for understanding principal mechanisms of disease pathogenesis and for developing new tools in diagnostics and therapy.


The National Centre of Excellence in Research on Parkinson’s disease is a recently launched 8-year program, which involves all national actors in biomedical research in Luxembourg. One long-term objective of program is to recruit and analyze a cohort of PD patients from Luxembourg and clinical centers in neighboring countries to help identify predictive and progressive biomarkers of the disease. Systems biological tools, in particular state-of-the-art computational modeling, will be used for biomarker identification. International partners in this program include the Oxford Parkinson’s Disease Centre, the Hertie-Institut für klinische Hirnforschung in Tübingen, the Paracelsus-Elena-Klinik in Kassel, and the National Institutes of Health in the USA.
