PhD Position (Doktorandtjänst) in Electronic Devices - Low-noise, Compact Sensor Readout Electronics
formally based at Department of Electrical Engineering
Objective
The objective is research and development of high-precision sensor interface electronics for reading of various types of extremely weak and noisy signals. The project will start with development of readout electronics for un-cooled focal-plane-array microbolometer infrared cameras. However, the research might be extended to other applications such as advanced sensors for reading (measurement) of electrophysiological signals (EEG, ECG, etc.). The problem includes advanced low-noise analog circuitry to detect the small signals, data acquisition techniques with analog-to-digital conversion as well as data handling and storage. This project is expected to generate highly innovative circuit techniques and architectures to be designed in advanced CMOS technologies, and to be measured and verified.
Research Environment
The research work will be performed at Division of Electronic Devices (
http://www.ek.isy.liu.se/), which is an internationally recognized research group, with over 30 years of experience in design of advanced integrated circuits. The division has close collaboration with major semiconductor companies and academic research organizations worldwide.
Qualifications
General requirement: M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering.
Specific requirements: The applicant is expected to have a strong background and great interest in design of analog and digital integrated circuits in advanced CMOS technologies. In addition, the challenging nature of the project requires high creativity, independence, and excellent skills in communication and team work.
Appointment time
The appointment is given for one year at a time, and will be renewed yearly subject to successfull performance of duties. The programme corresponds to four years of full-time studoes. Normally, the studies are combined with 20% tutorial teching, wich gives a period of emplyment of five years. Total period of emplyment cannot exceed eight years.
Starting date
By aggrement.
Salary
The commencing salary for a graduate student is at present 24 000 SEK/month. The subsequent salary will be based on locally agreed salary increments.
