Research Assistant/Associate in MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) in the Department of Engineering

A position exists for a Research Assistant/Associate to work on MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS). The project is funded by the Cambridge/MIT Initiative (CMI). As part of the CMI collaboration we have recently begun an initiative on the Design and Processing of Moving MicroActuators (MMAs), a particular type of MEMS which have stringent material requirements in terms of wear, friction, stiction, and hardness. Applicants are sought to carry out research in this general area. The project is funded through the Cambridge/MIT Institute and will involve collaboration with groups in Electrical and Mechanical Divisions of the Department of Engineering. Ideally the successful candidate should have a Ph.D. Degree or equivalent in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering, in Physics, or in Materials Science, but candidates without a Ph.D. Degree will also be considered.

The appointment will be for a period of up to three years starting as soon as possible. The salary will be in the range of £17,626 to £26,491 a year. Further details may be obtained from Professor Norman Fleck, Department of Engineering, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, CB2 1PZ (tel. 01223 332650, fax 01223 765046, e-mail naf1@eng.cam.ac.uk), to whom a letter of application and a curriculum vitae should be sent so as to reach him not later than 30 November 2002.
