PROFESSORS-RESEARCHERS

DEVICE ARCHITECTURE – DESIGN – PROTOTYPING / FABRICATION – INTEGRATION (AP 15-02)

CENTRE ÉNERGIE MATÉRIAUX TÉLÉCOMMUNICATIONS (four tenure-track positions)

SUMMARY

nstitut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) is a graduate and post-graduate research and training university. One of Canada’s leading research universities in terms of grants per professor, INRS brings together some 150 professors and more than 700 students and postdoctora fellows in its centers in Montreal, Quebec City, Laval, and Varennes. Conducting fundamental research essential to the advancement of science in Quebec as well as internationally, INRS research teams also play a critical role in developing concrete solutions to problems facing our society.

The Centre Énergie Matériaux Télécommunications seeks to fill four tenure-track positions of professors-researchers in device architecture, device design, device prototyping/fabrication, and device integration. The successful candidates will join a vibrant environment where about forty professors-researchers undertake leading-edge research and training in diverse fields of energy, materials, photonics and telecommunications. The Centre is currently located on two sites, in the city of Montreal and in Varennes (South Shore of Montréal).

The Centre hosts unique major research facilities including the Advanced Laser Light Source (ALLS) and the Laboratory of Micro and Nanofabrication (LMN) that form the Infrastructure of Nanostructures and Femtoscience (http://lmn.emt.inrs.ca/EN/inf.htm), and the Microwave and Wireless Laboratories. In addition to the availability of these unique facilities, we offer competitive start-up packages.

We seek to hire the best candidates with advanced expertise in device architecture, device design, device prototyping/fabrication and device integration, as well as in device testing and optimization at the component-, link- and system-levels. Technologies of interest include electronic, optical/photonic, optoelectronic, radio-frequency (RF), and acoustic/ultrasound devices for applications aimed at, but not limited to: sensing; metrology; telecommunications; control and automation; energy conversion saving, transfer, and storage; health; transport; etc.

The chosen candidates are expected to establish collaborations with research teams already in place, while developing or maintaining nationa and international partnerships outside the Centre. They will have the opportunity to bridge our expertise and established activities in advanced materials, photonics and telecommunication and energy systems.

REQUIREMENTS

  • A Ph.D. degree in an appropriate field (electrical engineering, engineering physics or related).

  • An outstanding record of research accomplishments that will enable her/him to successfully develop a strong, independent and externally funded research program.

  • The aptitude for supervising graduate students and postdoctoral fellows and teaching graduate level courses.

  • The ability to work in a multidisciplinary team and within research networks.

  • The background and aptitude to collaborate with industrial partners and build long term partnerships.

Working language

• French is the working language of the Institute. Fluency in English is required.

Candidates whose native language is not French are encouraged to apply. The Centre will provide them with all the resources necessary to facilitate their learning of the French language.
