Postdoc: Tribochemical Nanolithography: Are you interested in simultaneously unraveling the fundamentals of wear and contributing to the solution of friction-related challenges in computer chip production? Join us at the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL) to work on new processes to fabricate the electronic chips that power nearly every sector in the world.
Postdoc: Tribochemical Wear with Relevance to Nanolithography
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
Research Area: Tribochemical Wear in Nanolithography
Location: Amsterdam Science Park, The Netherlands
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD degree in physics or a related subject.
- Enjoy performing experiments and analysis to build a deeper understanding of complex physical mechanisms.
- Effective communication skills to explain research results.
- Experience in using/developing instrumentation for mechanical/tribological testing is preferred.
Job Description: In this project, you will perform wear experiments on a recently developed instrument that enables customized wear experiments in a controllable environment. The goal is to provide insight into industrially relevant wear behavior, leading to control over the wear behavior and its impact on positioning accuracy in nanolithography.
You will be embedded in the Contact Dynamics team at ARCNL, investigating friction and wear in relation to positioning challenges in the semiconductor industry. This involves working with world-wide unique wear setups and collaborating with both academic and industrial partners.
