Postdoctoral Research Associate
Future Chips Constellation
The Department of Physics, Applied Physics and Astronomy invites applications for the position of a postdoctoral research associate in device fabrication of group-III nitride semiconductors in RPI's Future Chips Constellation. The candidate is expected to develop and lead device fabrication processes, to perform original and creative research for new device concepts in solid-state lighting and laser diode. The candidate will integrate her/his work in a highly collaborative team of materials growth, characterization, and device fabrication in a fully equipped fab-line dedicated to these materials within the newly formed Future Chips Constellation at RPI.
Required Qualifications
The position requires a recently completed PhD in the area of group-III nitride semiconductor device and preferably a minimum of 3 years experience in process integration and fabrication tools for AlGaInN alloys and light emitting devices. High motivation, practical talent, reliable record keeping, effective communication, goal-oriented teamwork, and experience in pragmatic experiment design are required. The appointment is initially for one year and can be renewed. Further information can be found at www.rpi.edu/~wetzel.
Applicants should send a letter of application, curriculum vitae, a statement of research experience and interests, list of publications, and a contact list of 3 references in electronic form to the attention of Dr. Christian Wetzel, Wellfleet Career Development Constellation Professor, Future Chips; Associate Professor of Physics, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY 12180 at wetzel@ieee.org. Please reference "PostdocFab" in the subject line.

Professorship in Physics, Applied Physics, and Astronomy
Career Development Kodosky Constellation
Rensselaer is seeking exceptional candidates for a tenure-track Career Development Kodosky Constellation Professorship. The successful candidate is expected to form a strong alliance in first-principles predictive theories with the current Kodosky Constellation Professor in the Department, Shengbai Zhang, to jointly establish and enhance scholastic distinction and leadership. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in quantum transport, very large-scale electronic calculation, or many-body theory such as the GW quasiparticle or quantum Monte Carlo method, and with exceptional vision on revolutionizing computer-aided fundamental researches for energy conversion, future electronics, and nano sciences. Strong desire and ability to interact closely with experimentalists are required. Topics of interest include, but not limited to: 1) size and symmetry-driven nano physics, molecular and nano electronics; 2) complex phenomena of impurities and defects, physics of materials far from equilibrium or under extreme conditions, photovoltaics, solid-state lighting; 3) physical chemistry in nano catalysis, hydrogen storage, and other forms of energy generation and storage; 4) optical physics in the form of plasmonics, photonic crystal, and THz applications; and 5) organic and bio electronic materials.
Rensselaer, in collaboration with IBM and New York State, has developed a $100 million partnership, the Computational Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI), to create the world’s most powerful university-based supercomputing center, and a top 10 supercomputing center of any kind in the world.
Candidates should possess established record of exceptional research accomplishment, funding history, interdisciplinary inquiry, and strategic vision. Nominations and applications should be sent to:
