EMPLOYMENT
Employer: University of California, Berkeley
Location: Berkeley, CA 94720-1740, USA
Open positions as of: 2012
Graduate Research Assistantship and Postdoctoral Fellowship Available at UC Berkeley
A number of positions are open for Graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at the Nano-scale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC) at UC Berkeley.
Graduate Students
We seek highly motivated students with the solid scientific strength in one of the following areas: engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science and biological sciences. Both graduate research assistantships and university fellowships are available.
Postdoc Candidates
Postdoc candidates should possess an earned Ph.D. in physical sciences and engineering, (degree from US, Japan, or Europe is preferred). Excellent written English and oral communication skills are required. The postdoc positions are in the following areas:
I. Solar Energy: We seek candidates with a strong experimental expertise in Solar Energy Photon Management，Materials and Devices. The focused research will be on the high-performance solar energy material & devices and/or scalable & sustainable nano/microscale manufacturing for energy conversion.
II. Nano Lasers and photonics: An essential research objective in our group is focused on the development of deep-sub-wavelength active photonic structures and devices. We seek postdocs with strong background in semiconductor lasers: device physics, materials and fabrications. Strong experimental skills combining with theoretical depth are required.
III. Nano-optics, plasmonics and Metamaterials: An essential research objective in our group is focused on the nanophotonics and plasmonic structures and physics. The research involves theoretical and experimental study of the physics underlying metamaterials and other plasmonic-based devices. We seek for creative postdocs with strong physics background in electromagnetics /solid state physics /nonlinear or quantum optics. Strong optical experimental skills are sought with experiences such as but not limited: lasers and related materials fabrication, imaging, FTIR, NSOM, and Nonlinear optics.
IV. Fabrication, Devices and Applications: We seek for candidates with strong experience in micro- and nano-scale design/fabrication; advanced imaging technology (new imaging microscopy and lithography, etc), as well as for biological applications.

NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES
The National Research Council of the National Academies will offer competitive awards in 2012 for independent postdoctoral and senior scientific research to be conducted in residence at participating U.S. government laboratories. Opportunities for research are in all areas of science and engineering and many are open to non-US as well as US citizens. Awardees design their own projects to be compatible with the overall interests of the sponsoring laboratory. Annual stipends for recent Ph.D. recipients range from $41,000 - $70,000 depending upon sponsoring laboratory and are appropriately higher for additional experience. Application deadlines are February 1, May 1, August 1, and November 1. Applicants must initiate dialogue with prospective advisors at the lab as early as possible, before their anticipated application date. Applications must be submitted online directly to the NRC. Detailed program information, including instructions on how to apply online, is available on the NRC Web site at www.national-academies.org/rap. Questions should be directed to the National Research Council at 202-334-2760 (phone) or rap@nas.edu. Qualified applications will be reviewed without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex or national origin.
