Job Description

3 PhD positions in Nanoelectronics (Ref.no.: 07/5140) at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo

The group for Nanoelectronics (NANO) at the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Norway, is focusing on analog and digital microelectronics with a particular emphasis on low-power systems for use in wireless sensor networks. Our current research includes

* Data Converters (ADC and DAC)
* Low-power processing logic
* Neuromorphic Systems
* RF MEMS
* UWB Impulse Radio

Our research ranges from system-level issues to full-custom physical implementations. See http://www.ifi. uio.no/forskning /grupper/ nano/ for more information about the group.

There are three PhD positions available on the project: "Low-power nano-/microelectron ics for wireless sensor networks".

The project comprises the following research topics: Low-power data conversion, Power saving topologies for signal processing, RF-MEMS/CMOS integration, UWB-IR radio communication.

We are looking for candidates with relevant background in at least one of the following areas: Data conversion, Low-power CMOS design, RF-MEMS/CMOS integration. She/he must have a good education in theoretical aspects of nano-/microelectron ics, including analog-/mixed-signal CMOS design and physics. The candidate must be able to work both in theory and physical implementation. Applicants should have an appropriate BSc or MSc degree.

* The positions are for 4 years and it comprises some teaching obligations (25%).
* The positions are available from September 15th 2007.
* Applications must be received by August 27th, 2007.
* Salary at level 43 of the Norwegian pay scale for the first year (325.600 NOK per year -approx. 39.800 Euros). This amounts to approx. 27.000 NOK (3.300 Euros) per month before taxes. Taxes depend on personal family situation; considering the standard of 30 to 35%, the salary would be about 18.900 to 17.500 NOK (approx. 2.300 to 2.130 euros) per month, after taxes. The salary increases about 10.000 NOK (before tax) per year for the second and third year. Salary includes standard Norwegian social and health insurance and contribution to retirement.

Applications consists of a statement of your fields of interest, a CV, which must include complete information about education at both bachelor and master level, documented scientific experience, and at least two academic references (name, position, e-mail and telephone number). Good knowledge of English is mandatory. All employees must satisfy the entrance requirements for the doctoral degree program at
the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. Women are especially encouraged to apply.

The University of Oslo wishes to achieve a more equal distribution of scientific employees between the genders. Female applicants are encouraged to apply.

UiO has an agreement for all employees, aiming to secure rights to research results a.o.
