The National Graduate College for Engineers in Southern University of Science and Technology was officially established in 2023. In accordance with the national requirements, the college identifies four research areas or directions on semiconductor technology:

Semiconductor physics and chemistry

Semiconducting materials and materials for semiconductor processing

Processing and equipment

Devices and integration

The college aims to establish an international competitive innovation team, actively promote college-industry cooperation, and cultivate outstanding engineering talents in semiconductors.

Recruiting positions: Positions are available at all levels (professor/associate professor/assistant professor).

Research directions include but not limited to:

Semiconductor physics and chemistry: semiconductor physics; semiconductor materials and devices; chemical engineering for the semiconductor industry; fundamental physical and chemical mechanisms in semiconductor devices and processes; cutting-edge analysis testing and measurement techniques; and more.

Semiconducting materials and materials for semiconductor processing: materials for the manufacturing of silicon-based CMOS integrated circuits; defect analysis of semiconductor materials; semiconducting thin film growth; heterogeneous integrating of semiconductor materials; and more.

Processes and equipment: next-generation lithography techniques and equipment; ordered nanomanufacturing; next generation integrated circuit manufacturing process and equipment development; equipment development for etching, thin-film deposition, thermal processing, implantation, metrology, polishing; and more.

Devices and integration: more-than Moore CMOS devices; emerging (disruptive) devices; design and technology co-optimization; 3D integrated circuits; advanced packaging technology; and more.

Salary and benefits:

Appointed as a professor of the following tracks: tenured or tenure-track (independent PI), research track, or professor of practice track at Southern University of Science and Technology. The university provides globally competitive salary and benefits, and attractive working and research conditions.

Qualified as a supervisor for Ph.D. or Master students, with preferential support for recruiting Ph.D. and Master students in the first two years.
