Postdoctoral Researcher in Radiation Effects in Power Electronics

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description . Department of Physics 's Accelerator Laboratory is seeking to recruit a Postdoctoral Researcher in Radiation effects in power electronics starting 4 January 2026 , or as soon as possible after that for 2 years. This fixed-term contract position is co-funded by the European Commission (RADNEXT 2030 project) and the University of Jyväskylä. The postdoctoral researcher will develop radiation testing guidelines for wide-bandgap (WBG) power electronics technologies, such as silicon carbide (SiC)- and gallium nitride (GaN)-based power devices. Tasks will include:. Review of published studies in radiation effects, failure mechanisms and test practices specific to WBG materials. Radiation effects testing of WBG-based components and developing the test methodologies based on existing practices. Drafting of application-specific guidelines on test setup and procedures for radiation testing of WBG devices: Deliverable D3.2. Depending on the researcher's skillset and preferences, the work may also include developing the experimental setup and data acquisition and analysis software. Who should apply . We are looking for a candidate who matches the following requirements:. PhD in a suitable field such as experimental physics or electronics. Knowledge /experience in as many as possible of the following areas / techniques is considered an advantage: Accelerator-based physics. Electronic circuit de
