[

Research Project: The “Quantum Semiconductor Nanostructures” research group, led by Prof. Amir Saar, is seeking a motivated PhD candidate to join our cutting-edge research on semiconductors and digital printing. This is a full-time position with a duration of four years. The selected candidate will work on innovative projects focused on laser-based digital printing of semiconductor structures and devices.

The specific research project available for a PhD candidate (in collaboration with our industrial partners - PrintLogic Ltd.) is aimed at developing a laser-based technique for direct digital printing of metals and inorganic semiconductors. Recently, we have extended the laser-based printing method for the printing of semiconducting silicon, silicon-based devices (such as diodes, transistors and solar cells) and integrated electronic circuits. The printing method, called "LIFT" (Laser Induced Forward Transfer), is capable of printing complex structures of metals and semiconductors in three-dimensions (3D) and on virtually any surface and substrate.

Funding: To be determined (a basic fellowship is allocated for the proper candidate; few additional competitive fellowships are also available) 

Your Profile: We seek candidates who possess a strong knowledge of Physics at the undergraduate level. Basic knowledge in Engineering or Applied Physics will be considered an advantage. The ideal candidate will demonstrate good academic grades, reflecting their commitment to academic excellence and potential for research in the field.

About the Supervisor: Prof. Amir Sa'ar received his PhD in Physics from Tel-Aviv University in 1988 and subsequently joined Caltech as a Fulbright post-doc in Applied Physics. Since 1991, he has been a faculty member at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and became a Professor of Applied Physics in 1998. His research focuses on developing low-dimensional silicon-based semiconductor nanostructures for applications in electronics, photonics, sensing, and photovoltaics. Prof. Sa'ar has published over 150 papers and is a founding member of the Hebrew University Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology; see: https://saaramir.wixsite.com/huji

About Our Department: The Racah Institute of Physics, part of the Faculty of Science, is dedicated to high-quality research across a wide range of physics disciplines. Our areas of expertise include nanophysics, biophysics, nonlinear and condensed matter physics, few-body systems, nuclear and hadronic physics, high-energy physics, and astrophysics. We support a diverse group of students at all levels, offering a rigorous undergraduate curriculum and advanced graduate degrees. This commitment to excellence is exemplified by our graduate and Nobel laureate, Prof. David Gross. For more details, visit: https://phys.huji.ac.il/

Our modern campus boasts state-of-the-art lab facilities, world-renowned faculty, and a stimulating environment that fosters scientific exploration, intellectual growth, and innovation. 

Embracing Diversity: At Hebrew University we believe that diversity inspires creativity, fosters curiosity, and enriches our ecosystem through academic collaboration and cultural exchange. We consider every member of our community an integral part, irrespective of their religion, gender, or ethnic origin.

HUJI is home to nearly 25,000 students across our 6 campuses, including ~2,500 per year representing 90+ countries. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to engage with your peers here on equal ground, in an environment that promotes equity and inclusion, and celebrates the contribution of its talented members.

Application: We welcome your application with all required documents compiled into a single PDF:

  • Letter of motivation
  • CV (including a list of publications)
  • Brief statement of research interests (max. 1500 characters)
  • Copy of your original academic degree(s)

Application Deadline: October 30, 2024.
