Job Description
The Department of Physics at Villanova University invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics in the 2D Materials Laboratory of Prof. Scott Dietrich. This is a grantfunded position and is subject to continuing based on the availability of funding. The successful candidate will investigate highly interacting electronic states in van der Waals materials at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. This project involves nanoscale device fabrication using cleanroom facilities electrical transport measurements and microwave spectroscopy measurements. It also contains strong ties to collaborating institutions requiring the postdoctoral researcher to communicate closely with partnering teams. The Villanova Physics Department is dedicated to excellence in teaching and research and we recognize the importance of involving our undergraduates in cuttingedge research. We are particularly interested in candidates who can contribute in such an atmosphere. Teaching opportunities are available for interested candidates. This is a fixedterm appointment funded for one year from the date of hire with a possibility of continuing that depends on continued grant funding. Villanova is a Catholic university sponsored by the Augustinian order. Diversity and inclusion have been and will continue to be an integral component of Villanova Universitys mission. The University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer and seeks candidates who understand respect and can contribute to the Universitys mission and values.
Duties And Responsibilities
The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for nanofabricating samples for characterization working with collaborators (remotely and inperson) on microwave experiments.
Minimum Qualifications
Ph.D. in Physics or related field strong research experience in 2D electronic systems some nanofabrication experience.
Preferred Qualifications
The ideal candidate will have experience in the following areas: Mechanical assembly van der Waals heterostructures Nanofabrication Magnetoresistance measurements Microwave design and measurements Dilution fridge operation Previous usage of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee FL
