About the University of Dundee

Basic information and contact details for the University of Dundee

institution
The University of Dundee is a leading public teaching and research institution in Scotland, United Kingdom. The university can trace its roots back to 1881, when a wealthy local family donated money for a college to be built in the city. For many years after, Dundee had a partnership with the University of St Andrews, but gained independent university status in 1967. Today, the university has more than 14,000 full time undergraduate students and around 22 per cent of its total student body are international. More than 500 courses are taught at undergraduate and postgraduate level, ranging across sciences, business, arts and humanities, health, and law. Dundee’s main university campus is located in the west end of the city, within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants. Additional facilities are found at Ninewells Hospital, where the school of medicine is based as well as a research centre. The university’s student union has previously been voted the best in Scotland, and hosts a wide range of events and sports contests. Clubs and social clubs at the university cover a wide range of interests, from the political to the artsy. Sporting facilities include a gym, tennis courts and a 25 metre swimming pool. There are eight student accommodation halls on and off-campus, offering a range of shared living options. The city centre location means that students are within walking distance or a short bus journey from a range of amenities. The accommodation is in the heart of the action and an ensuite room is guaranteed for undergraduate offer holders, subject to terms and conditions.

Research Fellow – Machine Learning for Nanoscale Semiconductor Manufacturing

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, Southampton

institution

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, Southampton


Semiconductor fabrication is one of the most complex and precision-driven forms of manufacturing. At nanometre scales, even subtle variations in process conditions can introduce defects that degrade device performance, reduce yield, and drive up production costs. Addressing this challenge requires new modelling approaches that can capture the full complexity of fabrication processes and enable optimisation before physical manufacturing begins. This project aims to develop advanced deep learning models capable of predicting fabrication outcomes and guiding fabrication recipe optimisation. By learning directly from experimental and process data, these models will enable a shift from iterative, trial-and-error fabrication towards predictive and data-driven manufacturing. We are seeking a highly motivated Machine Learning Researcher to join a multidisciplinary team of fabrication engineers and AI specialists at the University of Southampton, within the School of Electronics and Computer Science, working in the group of Dr Yasir Noori. In this role, you will work at the interface of machine learning and semiconductor engineering, developing models that predict post-fabrication device characteristics from process parameters. You will engage with complex, high-dimensional datasets derived from real fabrication workflows, including microscopy, spectroscopy, and electrical performance measurements. You will work closely with fabrication engineers to translate physical processes into machine learning models, design and train deep learning architectures, and evaluate their ability to generalise across different process conditions. The models you develop will not remain confined to the research lab, but will be validated experimentally and tested at an industrial scale in collaboration with global companies in semiconductor fabrication and electronic design automation. The position offers a rare opportunity to apply machine learning to an important technical challenge with substantial potential impact. You will also be involved in supervising PhD students and junior researchers and play a central role in shaping the research direction of the team. Your work is also expected to contribute to the development of innovative technologies with a clear pathway to commercialisation through the spinout company Deep Fabrication, to influence how semiconductor manufacturing is approached in practice. The role will provide you with deep exposure to nanofabrication processes, experience working with industry-relevant datasets and problems, and the opportunity to publish in leading journals and conferences. It is particularly well-suited to candidates who are motivated by applying machine learning to real-world systems where the underlying physics is complex and not fully understood. This position is offered for 24 months in the first instance, with the possibility of extension for a further 12 months. To apply, please submit your CV and a cover letter outlining how your experience and interests align with the aims of the project, and provide responses to the short-listing questions.
