Job Description:
The Carnegie Institution for Science seeks applications for an
experimental postdoctoral fellow working on the forefront of
conventional superconductivity research. The project is focused on
the synthesis and characterization of new light-element
superconductors including hydrides, borides & carbides with the
goal of producing conventional, high-Tc materials that remain
stable without extreme pressures. The position will involve the
synthesis of new materials using conventional, non-equilibrium and
high-pressure methods, and subsequent structure/properties
characterization. The successful candidate will work in a dynamic
environment with an expert team comprised of experimental and
computational physicists, chemists, and materials
scientists.Minimum qualifications: A PhD in physics, chemistry,
materials science or a related field is the requirement for this
position.Desired qualifications: Expertise in solid-state
synthesis, characterization of magnetic & electrical transport
properties (e.g., PPMS), powder/single-crystal diffraction,
Raman/infrared spectroscopies, and characterization/analysis of
superconductor properties. Understanding of high-pressure
techniques including laser-heated diamond anvil cells and/or
large-volume press techniques is desirable. The successful
candidate is expected to be able to work in both independent and
collaborative group environments.The initial appointment is for one
year with the possibility for an additional year pending progress
and availability of funds. The position is available starting
summer 2024 and will remain open until filled. Interested parties
should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae (including
publications), statement of research interests, and contact
information for a minimum of three references.Only complete
applications submitted via this website will be
considered.Prospective researchers will work at the Earth and
Planets Laboratory, Carnegie Institution for Science, Washington,
DC. The Carnegie Institution is an equal opportunity employer. All
qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and
will not be discriminated against on the basis of gender,
race/ethnicity, protected veteran status, disability, or other
protected group status.
