Research Fellow in 2D-Material Transistors and Emerging Devices at NUS
Job Description
NUS’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering is hiring a Research Fellow in emerging device design and fabrication, working on transistors and circuits made from two-dimensional semiconductors and on new device structures such as tunnelling FETs. The post suits a recent Ph.D. or postdoc with electron-beam lithography device fabrication experience and good publications in 2D materials.
At a glance
- Post: Research Fellow, emerging device design and fabrication
- Department: Materials Science and Engineering
- Posted: 21 May 2026
- Apply: open until filled (re-checked 14 October 2026)
What the post involves
- Fabricate devices based on 2D materials
- Develop transistors and circuits based on 2D semiconductors
- Explore new device structures such as tunnelling FETs
- Write and publish scientific papers
Why this post matters
2D semiconductors only a few atoms thick are candidates for transistors beyond silicon’s limits, and research on them is closely watched by the chip industry. Singapore’s investment in semiconductors makes NUS a strong base for this work. The post also builds hands-on skills in nanofabrication, electrical testing and device physics that transfer well to industry and national-lab research roles in Singapore and abroad.
What NUS is looking for
- A Ph.D.
- Device fabrication experience with electron-beam lithography (EBL)
- Good publications in 2D materials
- Strong communication skills and research motivation
Nice to have
- Transistor fabrication experience
