<p>I have immediate and upcoming openings for graduate students and post-docs who have interest and experience in solid mechanics. I am especially in need of someone with Abaqus/FEA experience.</p>
<p>The project deals with intentionally using spalling fracture to exfoliate high-efficiency solar cells from their expensive single crystal substrates. We've achieved some major milesones- scaling to 4" full wafer spalls, device removal with no loss in performance, reusing substrates for growth directly after fracture without surface repreparation. It is super exciting to rip apart a covalently bonded single crystal with your bare hands (once everything else is done right and is in place)-- it makes a somewhat terrifying tinny rip sound, but I digress... The next hurdles are understanding and mitigating the stress fields that cause morphological defects in the fracture surface and associated tool design to accomplish defect-free exfoliations. Do you want to join us?</p>
<p>If you're a recent or upcoming BS grad and don't have experience, but think this is cool and exciting, let's talk. We're willing to train.</p>
<p>Please share this opportunity with anyone who might be interested and contact me by email if you'd like more information. (<a href="mailto:cpackard@mines.edu">cpackard@mines.edu</a>). The senior position(s) can be filled either at the post-doctoral researcher or research faculty (soft money) level. The post-doctoral/research faculty posting lists a salary range- in addition to salary compensation, the position comes with a fully paid (no out of pocket premiums!) health insurance plan for individual or family(!!) insurance. Research faculty positions do not require a PhD if there is suitable industrial or work experience.</p>
