Postdoctoral Scholar Position (Job Number: 62626)
Description: A postdoctoral scholar position is available in the Computational Electromagnetics and Antennas Research Laboratory (CEARL) in the Electrical Engineering Department at The Pennsylvania State University. This position involves the development and application of numerical analysis approaches using Machine Learning based multi-physics tools for predictive modeling, high-dimensional optimization, uncertainty quantification, forward and inverse design, including the development of Digital Twin components, under the supervision of Prof. Douglas H. Werner.
Requirements: Applicants must have a PhD in electrical engineering by the start date with a strong focus in electromagnetics. The candidates must have expertise in computational electromagnetics, RFIC phased array antenna design, and machine learning.
Responsibilities: The objective of this work will be to support a large multidisciplinary team effort focused on the design, modeling, and fabrication of advanced RFIC Phased Array Antenna Systems (Ka-Band and W-Band) and associated Power Converters. The postdoctoral scholar is expected to work in a highly collaborative environment in which electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, material/data scientists, and thermal engineers will collaborate to develop the next generation of microelectronics manufacturing.
Researcher/Research Professor Center of Excellence in Directed Energy Position (Job Number: 80958)
Description: The Center of Excellence in Directed Energy (CEDE) at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking a highly qualified individual for a non-tenure-line position at the rank of Researcher or Assistant/Associate Research Professor. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in coordinating projects and managing lab facilities within CEDE.
Requirements: A successful candidate at the Assistant Research Professor or Associate Research Professor rank will hold a terminal degree or its equivalent in electrical or mechanical engineering or a related field by the appointment date. Candidates without an MS who are active candidates for a terminal degree will be considered at the Researcher rank. In addition, they must have working knowledge of SolidWorks and be proficient in the creation and critical review of engineering drawings, tolerancing, and tolerance analysis. United States Citizenship is required. Industrial experience is preferred.
Responsibilities: The primary responsibility of the position will be assisting cutting-edge research programs, including electromagnetic and mechanical simulations, managing and setting up fabrication and measurement equipment, as well as the preparation of reports for relevant sponsored contracts. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to participate in funded projects.
Typical duties include, but are not limited to:
Coordinate projects and manage the production lab
Assist in proposal writing
Prepare project reports
Oversee and manage projects
Develop and implement project timelines, as well as ensure deliverables, deadlines, goals, and objectives of projects are met
