Research Associate – Time-resolved studies of Quantum Materials using coherent x-rays

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to investigate quantum correlations and many-body dynamics in quantum condensed matter systems using advanced coherent x-ray scattering techniques. The successful candidate will develop and perform synchrotron-based coherent x-ray and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments to probe nano-to-meso-scale equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated materials, including charge, spin, and orbital ordered systems. The postdoc will also work closely and collaborate with the X-ray Scattering Group (XSG) in Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science at BNL. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Responsible for planning, performing, and analyzing coherent x-ray scattering experiments Responsible for disseminating research results in the form of conference presentations and publications Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: PhD in physics, materials science, physical chemistry or related field Sufficient understanding of the physics of quantum materials Experience in x-ray scattering or related techniques Demonstrated proficiency in programming language, such as Python Excellent written and oral communication skills including writing academic papers Ability to work both independently and as part of a team Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: Experience in synchrotron-based experiments Experience in coherent x-rays or/and resonant x-ray scattering Experience in strongly correlated oxides Understanding of light-matter interactions in condensed matter systems Other Information: Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to providing fair, equitable and competitive compensation. The full salary range for this position is $71,900.00 - $88,000.00 / year. Salary offers will be commensurate with the final candidate’s qualification, education and experience and considered with the internal peer group. 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 post-doc and/or in an R&D position, excluding time associated with family planning, military service, illness or other life-changing events. 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.
