Institute of Nanosurface
Science and Engineering (INSE) at Shenzhen University is a brand new, modern,
research-oriented and well-equipped engineering research institute resided in
Shenzhen, which is right next to Hong Kong and is one of the first-tier cities
in China. The director of INSE is an internationally known researcher for
pioneering research in nano- and micro-scale surface sciences and engineering
with emphasis on the application of nanosurfaces in
optical-mechanical-electrical fields as well as the integration of fundamentals
from mechanical engineering, materials science, contact mechanics, plasma
physics, and nanotribology. INSE is seeking applicants for 2-4 postdoc positions
lasting for two years.
Qualifications:
(1) Having a positive
attitude, strong communication skills, and a team-work spirit.
(2) Holding or about to
complete a PhD degree.
(3) Strong publication
record, at least two first-author SCI papers.
(4) Expertise in one of
the following areas:
(a) Nanosurface Design:
theoretical calculation and simulation by using the following methods, such as
first principle calculations, molecular dynamics calculations and thermodynamic
analysis.
(b) Nanosurface
Manufacturing: investigation on the techniques for fabricating nanosurface,
especially the technique by using electron or ion irradiation in
plasma.
(c) Nanosurface Test:
characterization of the nano-structural, electrical, optical, magnetic,
biological, and tribological properties of the surface, semi in-situ analysis of
surface with Raman and AFM, in-situ analysis of tribological behavior of surface
with TEM.
(d) Nanosurface
Application: development of nano- or micro- scale optical, electrical, magnetic,
and biological sensors with customized nanosurfaces.
Salary:
Salary is no less than
280,000 Yuan/year and consists of four parts:
(a) 120,000 Yuan/year
postdoc allowance from the Shenzhen government (depending on the middle and
final evaluation).
(b) 84,000 Yuan/year
living allowance from the Shenzhen University.
(c) 26,880 Yuan/year
housing allowance from the Shenzhen government.
(d) 24,000 Yuan/year
research allowance from the INSE (there will be extra bonus per year depend on
performance).
(e) 30,000Yuan personnel allowance from the Shenzhen government
