1 Post-Doctoral position at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser of the FORTH

The Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) of the Foundation for research and Technology Hellas (FORTH), in the frame of the project VisorSurf which is a Research and Innovation action – RIA – (Call: H2020-FETOPEN-1-2016-2017, Proposal number: 736876), funded under H2020-EU.1.2.1. - FET Open, is seeking to recruit one post-doctoral researcher who holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the area of metamaterials or/and in the field of optical/plasmonic/photonic structures.

Required qualifications:
- Study and parametric assessment of the electromagnetic properties of graphene structures with an emphasis on applications in the THz regime
- Analysis and characterization of the electromagnetic attributes of advanced materials (graphene, metamaterials) for the development of enhanced wideband absorbers. Design and development of integrated optical, photonic, and nanophotonic waveguiding devices with an emphasis in silicon forms for interconnections and controllable structures. Investigation of non-linear phenomena in optical waveguides and metamaterials.
- Development of advanced time- and frequency-domain methodologies in the area of computational electromagnetics for the accurate solution and efficient simulation of the aforementioned problems.
- Solid experience in code programming via contemporary graphics processing units (GPU) for the significant acceleration of numerical simulations by means of the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA).
- Strong background in modern computational packages in the area of computational electromagnetics with an emphasis on the finite element (FE) method (in particular the COMSOLTM package), the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method (in particular the CST Microwave StudioTM package), and the beam propagation method (BPM).
