Chemical and Environmental Engineering Laboratory for Interface Science: Printable Electronic Materials | UArizona College of Engineering
Title: Undergraduate Researcher (3) positions
Hours and Days: Part-time, M-F, up to 10 hours per week
Hourly Rate: $ minimum $14.50, maximum $15.50 for Student Group B
Position Summary:
We are looking for enthusiastic and engaged undergraduate students with various backgrounds to work on short-term and long-term collaborative projects related to the research and development of novel renewable energy technologies.
We have a large team of graduate students, postdocs, and research scientists that students can shadow to learn early experiments before working on individual or small team projects. In general, students can experience hands-on, laboratory fabrication of semiconductor thin films, with complementary characterizations using a variety of different capabilities. We have an established boot camp program to teach students the basics early on. The students will become part of a multidisciplinary team mentored by both a faculty and research scientist mentor but will also open opportunities for collaborations and interactions with other renowned researchers within academia and national laboratories. Outlining the projects will happen with input from the student so that the student’s interests and career development plans are considered.
Academic Majors of Interest
Suitable candidates should have expertise or interests within the following fields:
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Optics
- Engineering
Methods and Tech of the Lab:
- Laboratory fabrication and semiconductor thin films with complementary characterizations using a variety of different capabilities.
- Printable electronics
- Optoelectronics
- Automation
- (Electro)chemical analysis
- Building instrumentation
- Machine learning
Preferred Qualifications:
- Proficiency using Microsoft Office
- Willingness to learn and use new computer software
- Experience and/or interest in programming, graphical design, cross-discipline science
- Basic wet lab experience (preferably general chemistry-level experience)
Preferred Interests and Preparation
We are also looking for mathematically-minded students interested in the use of finite element simulations to help us better understand how our materials perform using our COSMOL modules.
Likewise, discussing and publishing science is a critical part of what we do, so we are looking for people interested in communication, graphical design, and/or promoting our activities to the broader community. For students interested in instrument design, students can have the opportunity to interface both hardware and software to complete small to complex tasks, such as robotics for printing or building high-throughput spectroscopy capabilities.
