Research Fellow in Advanced Semiconductor Device Modelling

This postdoctoral position at the University of Surrey focuses on advancing semiconductor device modelling within an EPSRC-funded project. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Dr Radu Sporea, specialising in source-gated transistors (SGTs) and multimodal transistors (MMTs). The role combines computational modelling, experimental validation, and interdisciplinary collaboration to refine device physics and manufacturing insights. Applicants must demonstrate expertise in high-fidelity TCAD, compact modelling, or AI-assisted techniques, with a strong background in electronic engineering or semiconductor physics. The position offers opportunities for publication, mentorship, and international engagement, with a fixed-term contract until July 2027.

• Develop and validate advanced predictive models for source-gated transistors (SGTs) and multimodal transistors (MMTs) using TCAD, compact modelling, and physics-informed machine learning techniques.
• Collaborate closely with experimental teams to integrate device physics and manufacturing effects into models, ensuring alignment with measured data.
• Fit and validate models against experimental device data to inform circuit and device design decisions.
• Produce high-quality research outputs, including publications, reusable simulation frameworks, and technical documentation.
• Present research findings at conferences, workshops, and international dissemination events.
• Contribute to student mentoring, research proposals, and external collaborations.
• Engage in international travel for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
