Responsibilities:
Conduct experimental research to advance the understanding of thin film deposition processes using PVD techniques such as magnetron sputtering
Optimize deposition parameters to achieve desired thin film properties
Characterize deposited thin films using material characterization techniques
Explore and evaluate different materials to achieve specific thin film properties for applications like photocatalysis and energy storage.
Develop and implement diagnostic techniques to characterize the plasma during sputtering processes to study plasma parameters such as electron density, temperature, and composition, using optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and Langmuir probe measurements.
Investigate the effects of process parameters on plasma properties and sputtering process, to optimize sputtering conditions for improved thin film properties.
Investigate ionization mechanisms in the plasma during sputtering and including ionization, dissociation, to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms driving sputtering phenomena.
Analyze experimental data, interpret results, and draw conclusions to guide further research directions or process improvements
Track and report project tasks during the periodic review meetings.
Publish high-quality scientific publications
Supervision of master and PhD students, providing guidance on experimental techniques, data analysis, and research methodologies.
Job requirements:
You have a PhD degree in Engineering or Applied Sciences (Materials, Chemistry, Physics)
Knowledge of surface technology, thin film synthesis by PVD methods and their characterization
Practical experience thin film deposition/characterization and plasma characterization
You take initiative and can work independently, and as and as part of a multidisciplinary team
You have good communication skills and are proficient in English and French, both written and orally.
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution oriented towards applied research and innovation with a focus on Africa.
