Post Doctoral Scholar

A funded postdoctoral position is available to study atomic-scale structure and defects in materials and interfaces relevant to superconducting and semiconducting qubits using advanced electron microscopy techniques at the Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS).

Responsibilities

• Conduct TEM, 4D-STEM, electron ptychography, EELS, and SEM/EBSD to analyze structure, strain, and chemistry in superconducting and semiconducting thin films and heterostructures.
• Correlate structural and chemical features with superconducting and electronic properties.
• Develop and apply advanced data analysis workflows for large microscopy datasets.

Required Education:

Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics, Applied Physics or equivalent

Desired Education:

Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics or Applied Physics

Required Experience:

Strong background in TEM/STEM characterization.

Desired Experience:

Experience with EELS, diffraction contrast, 4D-STEM/ptychography.

Familiarity with data analysis tools and strong collaborative communication skills.

Appointment

Access to state-of-the-art electron microscopy facilities and interdisciplinary collaborations.
