Junior Research Fellow Opening at CMAS Lab, IIT Roorkee
The CMAS Lab at the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIT Roorkee, is inviting applications for a JRF to join our growing team under the ANRF project entitled "Physics Informed Neural Operators (PINO): A Scientific Machine Learning Approach for the Extremely Fast First-Principles Monte Carlo Analysis of Nanoscale FETs".
Job Description
The JRF will be involved in the development of physics-informed machine learning paradigms such as neural networks and neural operators for the modeling and simulation of nanoscale field-effect transistors(e.g., fin-shaped FETs, nanosheet FETs, forksheet FETs, complenamentary FETs etc.). The JRF will be required to develop, train, test, and benchmark the physics-informed neural operators for the steady-state and dynamic operation of nanoscale FETs, prototype the neural operators for industrial adoption, and disseminate the research findings in scientific journals and conferences.
Who can apply?
- Master's or bachelor's degree in ECE/EE/CSE or equivalent with CGPA above 7.0 (on 10.0 scale) or percentage greater than the aggregate irrespective of category.
- It is desirable for the candidate to have qualified GATE or National Eligibility Tests UGC-NET or CSIR NET including lectureship (Note: Bachelor's or master's from IITs, NITs, or any other CFTIs with a CGPA of 8.0 or above on a 10 point scale are exempt from the requirement of GATE/NET).
- Sound knowledge of governing physics and mathematics of nanoscale semiconductor devices.
- Strong background in machine learning with special focus on neural network training and testing**.
- Experience with first-principle electronic design automation tools such as TCAD for physics-based modeling of semiconductor devices.
- Expertise with SPICE-compatible circuit model development of semiconductor devices**.
- Experience with Python/MATLAB coding.
