[labnetwork] Postdoctoral Fellowship, Silicon Nitride Platform

[Mnaymneh, Khaled]

Hi All,

Please distribute to interested parties and networks.

Cheers,
Khaled.

Postdoctoral Fellowship, A Canadian-Based Silicon Nitride Platform (nrc-cnrc.gc.ca)<https://recruitment-recrutement.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/job/Ottawa-Postdoctoral-Fellowship%2C-A-Canadian-Based-Silicon-Nitride-Platform-ON/567307317/>

This project will establish a silicon-nitride platform for optical devices targeting classical and quantum applications. Silicon nitride is set to be the new "silicon" for the world's next-generation photonic technologies. Because we are in early days of adaption, there is an excellent opportunity to shape Canada's nitride platform in a unique way and to be an international trendsetter. Continuing to build upon current material and device research, the successful applicant will be expected to lead design, fabrication and characterization efforts in silicon nitride photonics and phononics. Specifically, this will entail a Quantum-Optics-Lab-On-A-Chip approach; design, fabricate and characterize chip components that perform and process optical information. Working with our university partner, you will perform a careful study of film-material parameters; more specifically, the refractive index of highly stoichiometric Si3N4, and how it governs the dispersion engineering and nonlinear optical qualities needed to achieve on-chip all-optical performance.

Education
PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics or a relevant Engineering field.
For information on certificates and diplomas issued abroad, please see Degree equivalency

Experience

  *   Knowledge of integrated optics and chip design, designing and constructing experimental apparatus
  *   Experience with lasers, non-linear optics, and detectors
  *   Experience with fiber optics
  *   Experience with cryostats, vacuum cryogenics would be considered as an asset

Language Requirements
English, Information on language requirements and self-assessment tests

Condition of Employment
Reliability Status

Who is eligible?

  *   Fellowships will be for two years contingent on satisfactory progress achieved during the first year.
  *   Candidates should have obtained a PhD (or equivalent) within the past three years (PhD received on or after July 1, 2020) or expect to complete their PhD within 6 months of appointment.
  *   Fellows will work in a lab under the direct supervision of an NRC researcher.

Application Requirements
In order to be considered for the program please include the following in your application, please note that you will need to attach the required documents as per the list below when submitting your application. Failure to do so will result in your application being excluded from searches.


  *   Resume
  *   Statement of Interest in the project (maximum one page in length)
  *   PhD Transcript - an electronic copy is sufficient, it does not have to be an official version.
  *   List of Publications

When submitting your application you can include the required documents in any attachment field such as «Second language evaluation results» or «Other attachments»

In addition, applicants who best meet the requirements of the position will be asked to provide three letters of recommendation at a later stage of the competition process.

Relocation
Relocation assistance will be determined in accordance with the NRC's directives.

Compensation
The intent of this hiring action is to staff through the Postdoctoral Fellowships Program at the RCO-2/AsRO level, which is an early-career level position with a salary range of $74,230 to $103,093.

NOTE: Salary determination will be based on a review of the candidate's expertise, outcomes and impacts of their previous work experience relative to the requirements of the level. As a guide, the current annual PhD recruiting rate is $74,230.

NRC employees enjoy a wide-range of competitive benefits including comprehensive health and dental plans, pension and insurance plans, vacation and other leave entitlements.

Notes

  *   Fellowships are open to nationals of all countries, although preference will be given to Canadian Citizens and Permanent Residents of Canada. Please include citizenship information in your application.
  *   The incumbent must adhere to safe workplace practices at all times.
  *   We thank all those who apply, however only those selected for further consideration will be contacted.
