We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of two-dimensional (2D) materials and van der Waals heterostructures for next-generation infrared and terahertz optoelectronic devices. The successful candidate will work on the UAEU Strategic Research project focused on engineering bandgap-tunable 2D heterostructures for MWIR, LWIR and THz photodetection. Responsibilities include: • Fabrication of vdWs heterostructures (mechanical exfoliation, deterministic stacking, CVD) • Optical and electrical characterization (Raman, PL, FTIR, THz-TDS) • Device fabrication and performance evaluation • DFT and multiscale modeling support • Supervision of PhD and MSc students • Publication of results in high-impact journals

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or related field • Proven experience in 2D materials and nanofabrication • Experience with optical spectroscopy and semiconductor device characterization • Strong publication record in Q1 journals • Excellent scientific writing skills

• Experience in IR/THz photodetectors • Experience with cleanroom processing • Knowledge of DFT simulations • Experience with nanophotonic integration

•CV including research experience and publications •Cover letter •Contact information of at least two referees •Portfolio or samples of recent
