About The Position
The goal of this position is to develop capabilities for magnetic material characterization that inform new modeling approaches of novel magnetic materials. In order to understand how the novel materials will be effectively integrated with microelectronic devices, the effects of anisotropy and inhomogeneity will be considered explicitly in the measurement and modeling approaches. The researcher will characterize novel magnetic materials (and devices that integrate those materials) by use of magnetometry (e.g. vibrating sample magnetometry) and high frequency (1 MHz to 10 GHz) metrology. They will subsequently develop data analysis and/or computational models to determine material properties and quantify magnetic field strength in test structures. They will organize and present data analysis and system models in ways that are clear and useful to team members and project managers. This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may wish to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and thus requires that such institutions be the recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program requires staff from a wide range of backgrounds to work on scientific research in many areas. Employees in this position will perform technical work that underpins the scientific research of the collaboration.
