Postdoctoral researcher CMOS Image sensors

The research group of prof. Guy Meynants focusses on the development of low noise and radiation hardened CMOS image sensors. The group is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on several ongoing research projects on topics like low noise pixel design and radiation tolerant image sensors. The research group is part of the ADVISE research division at KU Leuven Campus Geel. This division has a strong experience in radiation hardened analog and digital CMOS circuits and CMOS sensors. Its mission is to develop circuits and design techniques to withstand the effects of radiation. This includes device and performance degradation effects due to total ionizing dose and single-event effects. The group has built up experience in this field on a broad variety of CMOS circuits, like RF and signal processing circuits, memories, power management and image sensors and collaborates with large research institutes like CERN on this field. The division also operates a state-of-the-art lab facility for characterisation of devices during and after radiation.

We are seeking a highly motivated researcher with the following qualifications:

• A background in electronic engineering, microelectronics, computer science or physics with a proven experience in microelectronic design and research
• Experience with EDA design tools for IC design and/or TCAD tools for device and process simulations
• A PhD degree in electronics or device physics (or PhD graduation in the next year)
• Experience with image sensor design or research is a plus
• Social, enthusiastic and result-driven team player
• Good communication skills, proficient in English, both orally and in writing

We offer you a full-time postdoctoral position in a world-class image sensor research team at KU Leuven, with the following opportunities:

• Develop your knowledge on image sensor chip design
• Design integrated circuits in state-of-the-art advanced CMOS and image sensor processes
• Work together with world class experts on the fields of CMOS image sensors and radiation tolerant CMOS circuits
• We offer you a temporary assignment of 1 year with the possibility of extension (to max. 6 years).
• Anticipated start date is Summer 2025 (with flexibility)
