Position Purpose:

To supervise the software development projects of senior-year students in accordance with the standards and best practices following in the industry.

Responsibilities:

Computer Science students are required to complete a year-long project during their senior year. Several of our students opt for a software development project in which a group of 3-4 students develop a working software system/application. The Senior-year Project Instructor will be responsible for supervising the project groups working on software development projects. Specifically, the instructor will have regular interaction with project groups in a classroom setting as well as in individual group meeting to ensure that the students are following the industry standards and best practices for software development and are on-track with respect to project milestones and deliverable schedule.

The instructor will supervise the senior-year development projects as an advanced software engineering class, including multiple project groups. At the start of the fall semester, a list of 3-4 software development projects with concrete deliverables and a timeline will be provided to all the project groups. Each group will select a project from that list and will work on its implementation based on the given deliverables and timeline.

The responsibilities of the project instructor include:

  • Provide help in preparing milestones and deliverable schedule for the given projects (3-4)
  • Conduct weekly lectures to explain the software development standards and tools related to user requirement specification, architecture design, frameworks, API specification, code management and version control, testing, etc.
  • Conduct regular (biweekly) meetings with individual groups to review their progress with respect to the project milestones and deliverables schedule.
  • Assessment of project groups for grade assignment.

The Central Lab LUMS is looking for a Laboratory Research Associate to help develop protocols for Electron Beam Lithography and associated processes. The candidate is also expected to contribute in advanced characterization of samples using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The Central Lab host Nova NanoSEM 450 field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), which is equipped with special capabilities, including energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and electron beam lithography (EBL).

Eligibility:

The candidate should have at least an excellent Master degree in Physics or Materials Science with a proven record in experimental work preferably in at least one of the following:

  • Device fabrication using electron/optical beam lithography

  • Scanning probe microscopy on thin films and

  • Thin films deposition techniques (physical vapor deposition, sputtering)

PhD in Materials Science and Physics are also encouraged to apply. We ideally want candidates who have not only demonstrated the ability to operate one or more of the above devices but also have a deeper understanding of the materials science and Physics of the samples and techniques. Candidates with a good working knowledge of surface science and engineering will be preferred.
