[Electrical Engineering] PhD (University of Arkansas, USA)

The Applied Nano & Bio Photonics Group in Electrical Engineering Department of University of Arkansas has two Graduate Research Associate position openings starting from either spring 2009 or fall 2009.

The researchprojects include:
i) design/fabricate/characterize/package advanced semiconductor optoelectronic devices for biomedical imaging applications;
ii) develop novel optoelectronic devices using the innovative material integration techniques such as monolithic II/VI, IV (SiGeSn) and III/V integration;
iii) develop innovative technology to use extremely low power laser to induce ultra-high frequency mechanic vibrations in human body to inactivate virus and stimulate neuron cells;
iv) develop nanopackagingtechnology to integrate multi-functional nano-system and to provide lowcost and high performance interface with external environments.

Students with a master degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mechanic Engineering, Material Science, Biology or Biomedical Engineering are encouraged to apply. Students with only bachelor degree from above fields will also be considered provided high GPA and strong research interests. A TOEFL score is necessary to meet the minimum requirements of graduate school admission. A GRE score is recommended by is NOT required. The admitted student can either enroll in the Ph.D. program of Electrical Engineering department or an interdisciplinary Ph.D. program (Micro Electronics and Photonics) with faculty members coming from both science and engineering departments. Besides the standard salary and tuition wavier, the excellent students will also be considered the prestigious fellowship with extra $20,000. Interested applicants should send applicationpackage including CV and transcripts to Professor Shui-Qing (Fisher) Yuthrough email syu@uark.edu.
