Post-Doctoral Fellow:
Position Description: electrical Micro and Nano Devices and Sensors (eMinds) research lab from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Windsor is seeking an outstanding, highly motivated candidate for a postdoctoral researcher opening working in the field of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) based sensors and transducers development. The candidate will take a leading role in the design, manufacturing, characterizing, and testing of MEMS-based devices and chemical sensors. The work is part of a multi-disciplinary research project. The projects aim to develop high-performance electronic nose systems.
Main Responsibilities: The range of responsibilities includes but not limited to a) analytical and numerical modeling and finite element analysis of MEMS sensors, transducers, and resonators, b) hands-on testing and characterization of MEMS devices and electronic and chemical sensors, c) signal processing, data analysis, and characterization of test results, d) interpret results, identify and propose design improvements, e) interface and liaison with the industrial partners, f) layout design for fabrication, g) cleanroom fabrication, h) provide feedback on test, analysis, design, write manuscripts and reports, publication and presentations of the research results.
Research Environment: electrical Micro and Nano Devices and Sensors (eMinds) research lab at the University of Windsor is developing various innovative sensors, transistors, and transducers in a multidisciplinary effort. The team works closely with collaborators from faculties across campus as well as other universities and industry partners.

Qualifications: Should have PhD in Electrical or Microsystems or relevant field. Prospective candidates should have previous strong background and experience in full-cycle development of MEMS including design, fabrication, testing, and characterizing MEMS as well as gas sensors. Understanding of basic physics and working principles of MEMS sensor design as well as transistor-based sensors. Working knowledge of test equipment such as signal generator, oscilloscope, impedance analyzer, lock-in amplifier, probe-station, thermal chamber, ultrasonic imaging set up, etc. Working with a cross-functional engineering team including, design, circuits, fabrication, and packaging. Understanding sensor design, physics-based modeling, finite element analysis, and layout editor. Understanding of MEMS fabrication processes. Strong written and verbal communication skills are required for this position, especially in the context of a highly collaborative effort. As part of the Postdoctoral training, the applicant will be required to collaborate closely with graduate and undergraduate students with varied disciplinary backgrounds.
The initial appointment will be for one year with a possible extension upon satisfactory performance. Applications will be considered until the position is filled. For information on the position, interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Arezoo Emadi (arezoo.emadi@uwindsor.ca). Please email a CV, a statement of research interests, and contact of 3 professional references. We thank all applicants in advance for their interest, however, only those under consideration will be contacted.
