Research Scientist Position in Nanopositioning with Optimal Optical Information

1 week geleden


Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd
About the Position

This research scientist position focuses on advancing the precision of device position and orientation measurements, essential for cutting-edge technology fabrication. The successful candidate will contribute to enhancing industrial processes, quality control, and compensation mechanisms through fast, non-contact, and energy-efficient methods.

Key Responsibilities
  • Investigate the theoretical framework for extending information-centered optical measurement strategies to cases where multiple parameters need to be extracted from complex measurements.
  • Collaborate with local experts and our industrial partner, ASM Pacific Technology, to adapt this theoretical framework to real-world applications, particularly in measuring the placement of bonds and wires on integrated circuits (ICs).
  • Develop and implement novel optical metrology techniques using Python and machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • Contribute to peer-reviewed publications in open-access journals and write a PhD thesis contextualising the research.
Requirements
  • MSc degree in experimental, theoretical, or applied physics, astronomy, mathematics, engineering, or materials science, demonstrating a strong interest in optics.
  • Candidate should be curious and value an open, respectful work environment.
  • We particularly encourage applications from women, individuals with an LGBTQ+ background, and candidates from underrepresented demographics.
About Us

The Nanophotonics group is part of the Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science and the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Science. Our research focuses on the shaping and control of light and matter waves and their applications in technology for a sustainable society.

What We Offer
  • A position for four years.
  • A gross monthly salary between €2,872 and €3,670 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU)).
  • 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus.
  • A pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
