Postdoctoral Research Fellowship In Integrated Circuits For Space Probes

A position as Postdoctoral Research fellow (position code 1352) Is available at the Nanoelectronics Group, Department of Informatics. The fellowship is for a period of up to 2,5 years. Starting date no later than 01-June-2016.

The position is part of the interdisciplinary 4DSpace strategic research initiative, an initiative at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo, involving the Departments of Physics, Informatics, and Mathematics. The 4DSpace initiative is working towards integrated multi-point, multi-scale studies of ionospheric turbulence with new generation sounding rockets and satellites, and cutting edge numerical and analytical models. The center is active with in-situ measurements (such as the ICI-rocket series, CubeSTAR, or European Space Agency projects), ground-based observations, and development of instruments as well as miniaturized payloads and sub-payloads for rockets and satellites. The modeling of plasma instabilities and turbulence is carried out with fluid as well as particle-in-cell numerical codes.

Eligibility:

Applicants must hold a PhD degree or equivalent in microelectronics or similar subjects with experience in ASIC design in CMOS technology. Prior experience with sensor interfaces in particular, but also radiation hard design, wireless communication, low power design, layout synthesis and other relevant areas for the specific project context will be an advantage. If you will finish your PhD degree before March 30th 2016 you are also allowed to apply. Add the transcripts of the status of your studies now and you will be asked to supply your final degree's documentation later.
