- Participate in community outreach
Recommended Qualifications (please contact me if you have strong interest regardless):
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Material Science, or any related field.
- Background in electronic devices.
- Familiarity with Density Functional Theory and other computational tools.
- Experience in High-Performance Computing.
If you have proficiency in band structures, density of states, contact resistance, absorption coefficients, etc., please do apply!
Benefits:
- Full tuition waiver and competitive stipend.
- Access to HPC facilities and resources.
- On-campus housing and medical services.
To apply, please send your CV and supporting documents to my email directly.
Just an extra word of encouragement for those interested.. such application openings always seem more intimidating than they really are. If you have a BS in a relevant field and your GPA is above 3/4 and you sincerely do wish to join my group for the type of research that we do, please apply. My group is a supportive group that empowers those that have a solid interest in serving the scientific community. Not everything is under my control, but I promise you, if I perceive a good scientist in you, I will do my best to get you through. If you are hesitant about coming to Saudi Arabia, contact me directly for guidance or have a look at the page I made on why KFUPM.
