Posting Detail Information

Position Summary

As a postdoctoral research associate in the department of Physics, this position will support the research program of Prof. Nie (PI)s projects focusing on investigating novel organo-inorganic hybrid semiconductors for photo sensing applications. In particular, we will grow novel low dimensional hybrid single crystal materials, such as organo-inorganic structures, chiral structures and nanocrystals. We will investigate their photo-physical properties with optical spectroscopy (photoluminescence, raman spectroscopy) and photocurrent microscopy (photocurrent under polarized light) to understand the charge carrier dynamics and charge transfer across the interfaces.

Job duties will include, but are not limited to:
    • Assemble and characterize opto-electronic devices with low dimensional hybrid single crystals
    • Build interfaces with organic materials and 2D materials and investigate the charge transfer dynamics
    • Test the photon sensing efficiencies to radiation photon and polarized photons.
    • Participate in proposal writing
    • Work with the PI to supervise junior graduate students
