Job Description
Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. Review more information at BNL Benefits Program
The NSLSII is seeking an exceptional Postdoctoral Research Associate to join a collaborative research effort on developing novel methods applicable for extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) nanofabrication beyond the conventional approaches taking advantage of the worldleading expertise in Xray metrology at NSLSII nanofabrication at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and AI/ML at the Computational Science Initiative (CSI) within the Brookhaven National Laboratory.
The selected candidate will collaborate on solving inverse problem relevant for interference lithography process by deploying rigorous wavefront simulations and AI/ML networks that account for the lightmatter interactions in various wavelength regimes and real light source parameters such as coherence polarization monochromaticity and flux uniformity. For validating the developed methods the candidate is expected to conduct xray characterizations using stateoftheart microscopy techniques like coherent scattering and imaging. As a member of the Imaging & Microscopy Program at NSLSII the candidate is encouraged to collaborate with the other team members using the stateoftheart capabilities of the imaging and microscopy beamlines at NSLSII. In addition the selected candidate will opportunities for collaborating with researchers at external facilities such as the Advanced Light Source of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Xray Interference Lithography beamline at Paul Scherrer Institute of Swiss Light Source.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
Develop forward wavefront simulation methods and explore inversion methods relevant to codesigning of interference EUV masks.
Implement appropriate AI/ML methods.
Perform coherent xray scattering imaging and lithography experiments to validate and improve simulation approaches.
Present results to the scientific and industrial community via peerreviewed journals and conferences.
POSITION REQUIREMENTS
Required Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
Ph.D. in Physics Computer Science Material Science or related discipline.
Demonstrated expertise in scattering or imaging methods or simulations of wavefront propagation.
Demonstrated experience in computational programming.
Excellent oral and written communication skills.
Ability to work independently while interacting effectively in a collaborative team to solve problems.
Preferred Knowledge Skills and Abilities:
Demonstrated experience in coherent scattering or imaging simulation using wave propagation methods.
Significant handson experience in Xray scattering/imaging experiments and relevant data analysis.
Demonstrated experience in Python programming.
Knowledge of machinelearning algorithms.
Additional Information:
BNL policy requires that after obtaining a PhD eligible candidates for research associate appointments may not exceed a combined total of 5 years of
relevant work experience as a postdoc and/or in an R&D position excluding time associated with family planning military service illness or other lifechanging events.
Candidates must have received a Ph.D. by the commencement of employment.
Brookhaven Laboratory is committed to providing fair equitable and competitive compensation. The salary range for this position is $78000 $82000. Salary offers will be commensurate with the final candidates qualification education and experience and considered with the internal peer group.
Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Energy and Photon Sciences Directorate are committed to your success. We offer a supportive work environment and the resources necessary for you to succeed.
