Job Summary
Position Summary
Working under the direction of Dr. Iqbal Utama the postdoctoral fellow will lead experimental research focused on low-dimensional molecular and hybrid organicinorganic materials for applications in quantum sensing quantum photonics and related quantum technologies. The successful candidate will design fabricate and characterize quantum materials and nanoscale devices contribute to scientific publications and research proposals and mentor graduate and undergraduate students in a collaborative research environment. This is an outstanding opportunity for early-career researchers to advance an independent research program build a strong publication record and contribute to cutting-edge developments in quantum science and technology within a highly interdisciplinary and well-supported academic setting. Specific Duties: Conduct experimental research on low-dimensional molecular and hybrid organicinorganic materials for quantum sensing quantum photonics and related quantum technologies. Design fabricate and characterize quantum-material and nanoscale devices using techniques that may include materials synthesis and processing nanofabrication optical spectroscopy scanning probe microscopy magnetometry and optically-detected magnetic resonance. Develop experimental protocols and assist with the setup operation maintenance and documentation of laboratory instruments. Analyze and interpret experimental data and maintain complete organized records of experiments procedures and results. Prepare manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals and present research findings at scientific meetings. Contribute to the preparation of research proposals technical reports and collaborative projects. Mentor graduate and undergraduate students and provide training in relevant laboratory methods. Contribute to a safe collegial collaborative and intellectually engaged laboratory environment. Anticipated start date: December 1 2026 or a mutually agreed date thereafter. Anticipated end date: November 30 2027 based on a December 1 2026 start date. Appointment term: The initial appointment will be for 12 months. The appointment may be renewed annually subject to satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
