About the University of Science and Technology (UST)

Basic information and contact details for the University of Science and Technology (UST)

institution
The University of Science and Technology (UST), established in 2003, is a group of public universities and research institutions run as a consortium in South Korea. It runs across 32 campuses, with the main campus in Daejon, and others in Seoul, Suwon, Changwon, Ansan and Seongnam. The University of Science and Technology runs only a graduate school, taught in English, specialising in science and engineering education and research. There are nearly 500 international students, making up about one third of the total student population of over 1,300. Over 500 of the students are doing doctoral courses. There are over 900 full-time faculty and nearly 1,400 total faculty. The university is unusual in that it awards credits for research and minimises classroom lectures. Students are also provided with opportunities to participate in projects conducted by other institutions or private companies. Liberal arts classes are a prerequisite. Special courses include technical business administration, technical economics, technical strategies, theories of research, planning and management, venture start-ups, technical communication and technical writing. Majors include nuclear fusion, polar science, functional genomics, laser and plasma engineering, intelligent robot engineering and quantum energy chemical engineering. It has many overseas partner institutions in countries such as Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, France, Georgia, Germany, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, South Africa and Uzbekistan. The university provides a Student Sexual Harassment Help Desk, which supports sexual harassment victims, investigates cases and runs programmes to prevent sexual harassment. The school flower is a plum blossom, which overcomes adversity to blossom through the cold winter snow. It is considered to symbolise a virtuous and lucid mind.

Research Fellow, Department of Politics and International Relations

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON

University of Southampton

United Kingdom, 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.
