Job description

Join a premier physics research lab focused on quantum materials, advanced spectroscopy, and low-temperature measurements. You will work with a multidisciplinary team to design and execute experiments, analyze results, and contribute to high impact publications. We offer state of the art facilities, including cryogenics, ultra high vacuum systems, and multi access data pipelines, along with competitive compensation and strong career growth.

We value curiosity, rigorous scientific thinking, and collaborative problem solving. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of condensed matter physics, this role is for you.

Responsibility

  • Plan and execute precision experiments in quantum materials and condensed matter systems, including low-temperature and high-field measurements.
  • Design experiment protocols, optimize measurement setups, and ensure data quality.
  • Analyze complex datasets using Python, MATLAB, and specialized physics software; model physical phenomena.
  • Operate and maintain cryogenic systems, UHV chambers, and nanofabrication tools with strict safety.
  • Collaborate with theorists and engineers to interpret results and guide future experiments.
  • Prepare high quality technical reports and contribute to peer reviewed publications.
  • Present findings at internal seminars and international conferences.
  • Mentor graduate students and interns; foster a productive research environment.

Qualification

  • PhD in Physics, Materials Science, or a closely related field; or equivalent research experience in quantum materials.
  • At least 3 years of hands-on experimental research in low-temperature physics, cryogenics, and spectroscopy.
  • Strong proficiency in data analysis with Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW; experience with data visualization.
  • Experience with cryogenic systems, vacuum technology, and high-field measurements.
  • Proven ability to plan, execute, and troubleshoot complex experiments; excellent record of scientific publications or conference presentations.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary team.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines; strong problem solving skills and attention to detail.
  • U.S. work authorization preferred.
