Stillingstittel: Principal Engineer/Head Engineer (2016/9605)

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

A permanent position as cleanroom engineer (Principal/Head Engineer) within the field of Semiconductor physics/technology is available at The Department of Physics/ Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology.

Job/ project description:

The Semiconductor physics division/ LENS (Light and Electricity from Novel Semiconductors) under the Department of Physics/Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology is responsible for the operation of the Micro and Nanotechnology laboratory (MiNaLab) at UiO. MiNaLab is among the largest single experimental facilities at UiO, and partner of the national infrastructure project NorFab (Norwegian Micro- and Nanofabrication facility), partly funded by the Norwegian Research Council. Research and education at MiNaLab encompass micro/nano- and energy technology, microsystems and sensors/detectors, and a main part of the effort is focused on future solutions for energy, with a special emphasis on photovoltaics, but also towards thermoelectric materials and light emitting diodes. The activity can be described as application motivated basic research. To conduct this activity, UiO-MiNaLab is equipped with more than 40 advanced instruments with an investment cost in the range of 100 MNOK. See here for more details.

To support laboratory users, running and maintaining of the cleanroom infrastructure and nearby characterization laboratories, we seek a cleanroom engineer for a permanent position.

Responsibilities:

• In charge of chemical and gas handling
• User training, both on processes/equipment, and on lab safety
• Assisting users/researchers in process/equipment related troubleshooting
• Maintenance of advanced scientific instrumentation, including vacuum systems
• Perform processing and characterization on behalf of users
• Take part in the procurement of new equipment – testing, specification and qualification
• Administrative tasks connected to MiNaLab-operation.

The position will be an integral part in the ongoing research and education through support of the infrastructure users together with a team of two senior engineers and scientific staff. There will be daily contact with both students and researchers; therefore the personal suitability to cooperate and communicate, especially with students, is essential. The accumulated knowledge obtained in this position will be shared with colleagues, cleanroom users and our international network, e.g., as a part of the Nordic Nanolab Expert Network. This network also provides a very good opportunity to interact and learn from other highly experienced cleanroom engineers working within the Nordic countries.

Qualifications:

Engineer education on University College (Bachelor) level in a relevant field is required. Work experience can compensate for formal qualification. Engineering background from, e.g., an internationally leading cleanroom infrastructure will be highly beneficial.

The successful candidate must have:

• Training in/documented background from safe chemical and gas handling
• Training in/background from maintenance of advanced instrumentation
• Good communication skills, both oral and written, in English. Fluent knowledge of one of the Scandinavian languages can be an advantage due to close interaction with students at both bachelor and master level
• Personal skills: Outgoing, service minded and good cooperative skills. Weight will be put on personal suitability, including curi
