Applications are invited for faculty positions in Microelectronics at the Assistant/Associate Professor level. Applicants should have an earned PhD degree with clearly demonstrated strength or potential in research and must have a strong commitment to teaching. Appointees will be required to teach advanced silicon IC processing and CMOS device physics courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and general courses in the core Electrical & Computer Engineering undergraduate curriculum. In addition, supervision of graduate research students at both the Masters and Doctoral levels will be required. Applicant's experience in silicon IC fab industry is an added advantage.

Applicants with research experience in the following related areas are specifically of interest to us:

Front-end CMOS IC processing and integration: gate dielectric processing, shallow junction, advanced thermal process, chemical vapor deposition, and CMOS process integration; MIM capacitors with high k dielectric; silicon based nano-device structures.

The Microelectronics Group has state-of-the art 8 inch wafer IC fabrication facilities such as gate stack cluster tool, E-beam lithography tool, a full set of furnaces, sputter, plasma etchers, rapid thermal processor, etc in a class 1 - 100 clean room. Opportunities therefore exist for exceptionally strong applicants to establish credible and exciting research programmes as well as to collaborate with local wafer fab industries in the target areas of interest.

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering has a 100-member teaching staff, 730 graduate students, and admits 530 beginning undergraduate students to the B.Eng. (Electrical) program each year. Excellent teaching and research facilities are available. Opportunities exist for collaborative research with other faculty departments, national research institutes, telecommunications organisations, and defense organisations. Substantial research funding is available from the University, Ministry of Education and the National Science and Technology Board.

Starting rank and salary will depend on qualifications and experience. Initial appointment will be on a renewable three-year contract. Successful applicants will be eligible for tenure after serving two contracts. Subsidised accommodation and gratuity on completion of contract is available where applicable.

Please send applications to the Head of Microelectronics Group, c/o Mdm Oh Chew Ling, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore, Block E4, Engineering Drive 3, Singapore 117576, Fax: (65) 779 1103, email: eleohcl@nus.edu.sg. A completed application form should be accompanied by: (I) a statement of the candidate's research interests indicating the scope of the research and its importance to basic technical and scientific knowledge or to specific technological needs; (II) a statement of teaching interests; and (III) one or two representative publications or patents.
