Research Associate – Time-resolved studies of Quantum Materials using coherent x-rays
About The Position
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to investigate quantum correlations and many-body dynamics in quantum condensed matter systems using advanced coherent x-ray scattering techniques. The successful candidate will develop and perform synchrotron-based coherent x-ray and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments to probe nano-to-meso-scale equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated materials, including charge, spin, and orbital ordered systems. The postdoc will also work closely and collaborate with the X-ray Scattering Group (XSG) in Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science at BNL.
Requirements
- PhD in physics, materials science, physical chemistry or related field
- Sufficient understanding of the physics of quantum materials
- Experience in x-ray scattering or related techniques
- Demonstrated proficiency in programming language, such as Python
- Excellent written and oral communication skills including writing academic papers
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
Nice To Haves
- Experience in synchrotron-based experiments
- Experience in coherent x-rays or/and resonant x-ray scattering
- Experience in strongly correlated oxides
- Understanding of light-matter interactions in condensed matter systems
Responsibilities
- Responsible for planning, performing, and analyzing coherent x-ray scattering experiments
- Responsible for disseminating research results in the form of conference presentations and publications
Benefits
- Comprehensive employee benefits program
