Research Intern, III-V compound semiconductor materials & related devices – Oculus VR – Cork, PA

We are accepting applications from students interested in the following areas:

• III-V compound material & device characterizations
• CL & PL characterization of III-V heterostructures
• High-brightness visible light emitting diodes (HB-LEDs)

Our internships are twelve (12) or sixteen (16) weeks in length with various start dates throughout the year.

Responsibilities

Direct participation in the characterizations of GaN-based and GaAs-based light emitting heterostructures using state of the art cathodoluminescence (CL) and fluorescence microscopy

Active involvement in the data analyzing to evaluate the quality of various light emitting epistructures at different stages of the manufacturing process

Communication of research agenda, progress and results

Collaboration with and support of other researchers across various disciplines

Expected outcome of this work is to provide insight in the optimization of light emitting epistructures Minimum Qualification

Pursuing a PhD in applied physics or related STEM field, preferably focused in the characterization of III-V heterostructures

Currently enrolled in a full time degree program and returning to the program after the completion of the internship

1+ year experience in cathodoluminescence applied to semiconductor materials

1+ year experience in physics of semiconductor heterostructures

Interpersonal skills: cross-group and cross-culture collaboration

Ability to obtain work authorization in Ireland in 2017 Preferred Qualifications

Demonstrated industry experience via an internship or work experience

Proven track record of achieving results as demonstrated in accepted papers at international peer-reviewed journals or conferences (ICNS, Photonic West or similar conferences)
