About the University of Picardy Jules Verne

Basic information and contact details for the University of Picardy Jules Verne

institution
The University of Picardy Jules Verne (UPJV) is a public university primarily based in Amiens, North France, but with several other campuses in the Picardy region. UPJV has around 30,000 students enrolled. The university began life in the 1960s after several schools governed by the Lille Academy came together to create one institution. The University of Picardy was officially decreed as a university in 1970. In 1991, UPJV added Jules Verne to its name in honour of the famous author of Around the World in 80 Days and Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Verne spent many years in Amiens, serving on the city council, and died there in 1905. UPJV’s courses are divided into four areas: art, literature and language; law, economics and management; humanities and social sciences, as well as sciences, technology and healthcare. In August 2018, UPJV will open the doors to a new €118 million campus, which is located in a renovated 17th century Citadel in Amiens city centre. It is intended to cater to 5,000 students. The population of Amiens is just over 130,000, which means that students are well represented in the city. Visitors to Amiens often seek out the Gothic cathedral, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 13th century, it is both the largest cathedral and largest medieval building in France. Amiens is also nearby to where the Battles of the Somme took place in 1916. Over a million soldiers were injured or killed during these conflicts between Germany and the combined armies of Britain and France. A trip 20 miles north of Amiens will take you to the Thiepval memorial, which commemorates those who died.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON

institution

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, Southampton


We are looking to appoint a postdoctoral researcher (Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow, depending on experience) with strong expertise in 2D material devices, to be based in the School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton as part of the group of Prof. Kees de Groot and Dr Ruomeng Huang. This postdoctoral fellowship is part of the EXPRESS (Exploiting Single Source Precursors for the Electrochemical Growth of Functional 1D and 2D Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors) Programme Grant recently announced by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). EXPRESS is a large (£10M) flagship, interdisciplinary research programme over 5-years. It is led jointly by the Universities of Southampton and Warwick, alongside several international and industrial partners, and brings together internationally leading teams from across chemistry, physics and electronic engineering. It aims to deliver a step-change in the understanding and control of electrochemical growth of high-quality mono/few-layer functional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), combining precursor design and synthesis, electrochemistry, solution and surface computation, advanced characterisation and device integration. In addition to the essential disciplinary research skills, candidates should demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for collaborative working, the ability to communicate effectively across disciplines, and well-developed organisational skills. In this role, your primary focus will be the characterisation and understanding of TMDC-based nanoelectronic devices, such as transistors, memristive devices and photodetectors, using materials developed within the EXPRESS programme. You will carry out advanced electrical measurements and analysis to investigate device behaviour and performance, including transport mechanisms, contact effects and switching dynamics, and will correlate these with material properties obtained through complementary characterisation techniques. You will work closely with fabrication, materials synthesis and theory teams across the EXPRESS consortium, contributing to an integrated effort spanning materials discovery through to device demonstration. The role offers the opportunity to contribute to high-impact research, develop new measurement methodologies, and (for more experienced candidates) take a leading role in shaping characterisation strategies and supervising junior researchers. Candidates should have a strong background in 2D material based device physics and nanoelectronic characterisation, with experience in relevant materials and device systems. In addition to technical expertise, you should demonstrate a clear ability to work collaboratively across disciplines, communicate effectively, and contribute to a dynamic research environment. You will be required to be flexible and interact effectively with colleagues across the wider EXPRESS consortium to fulfil the scientific goals of the Programme. The position is offered for 24 months in the first instance, with the possibility of extension for up to 3 further years. Apply by uploading your CV and a cover letter detailing how your skills and experience match the requirements of the role. Please contact Dr Ruomeng Huang (R.Huang@soton.ac.uk) for informal enquiries.
