Job description
Research Assistant Professor
Under limited supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI), this individual will conduct research on the synthesis of single crystal and polycrystalline materials, thin-film deposition, and micro/nano fabrication; characterizing these materials using laboratory-based techniques to measure their electrical, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties; and collaborating with experimental and theoretical researchers to develop structure-property relationships and novel functional materials.
Applicants must hold a PhD in condensed matter physics or closely related field and have postdoctoral experience in material synthesis, thin film fabrication, characterization, and theoretical modeling.
Expertise in material synthesis, thin film fabrication, characterization, and theoretical modeling. Required to conduct business lawfully and ethically by consistently adhering to compliance policies, procedures, and regulations.
Synthesis of single crystal and polycrystalline materials, thin-film deposition and micro/nano fabrication: To successfully accomplish the proposed research objectives, it is essential to hire a qualified candidate with expertise in the synthesis of single-crystal and polycrystalline materials, thin-film deposition, and micro/nanofabrication. These activities require specialized technical knowledge, extensive hands-on experience, and the ability to operate sophisticated research equipment that is critical to the project.
Characterizing materials using laboratory-based techniques (including national user facilities) to measure their electrical, magnetic, optical, and thermal properties; collaborating with experimental and theoretical researchers to develop structure–property relationships and novel functional materials: The success of the proposed research depends on comprehensive characterization of synthesized materials to establish the relationships between their structure, composition, and functional properties.
Mentoring other group members, including postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers: A dedicated research scientist is essential not only to advance the technical objectives of the proposed project but also to provide consistent mentorship and training for postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate researchers.
