Description

The Nanoscience and Technology Division (NST) at Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral researcher to lead cutting-edge efforts in electrically driven ultrafast electron microscopy of materials and nanostructures for electronics.

This capability at Center for Nanoscale Materials enables imaging of electrically driven dynamics with simultaneous nanometer-scale spatial resolution and nanosecond-scale temporal resolution. The successful candidate will further advance this platform to access new spatial and temporal regimes and will spearhead first-of-their-kind investigations of radiofrequency (MHz–GHz) nanoscale phenomena in systems relevant to microelectronics and quantum information science.

Opportunities also exist for cross-platform studies integrating ultrafast TEM with ultrafast x-ray measurements at Advanced Photon Source and complementary optical spectroscopy.

The position offers a highly collaborative environment with experts in:

electronic materials and devices,
advanced characterization,
nanofabrication, and
theory/modeling.

Key Responsibilities

Perform transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy, including in situ and ultrafast measurements
Design and fabricate nanoscale electrical test structures (e.g., photolithography, e-beam lithography)
Design, test, and characterize radiofrequency (RF) circuitry and measurement approaches
Analyze and interpret data
Publish and present high-impact research results

Position Requirements

Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0–5 years) in materials science, physics, electrical engineering, or a related field
Demonstrated experience with scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) and/or diffraction (Lorentz S/TEM experience is a plus)
Strong foundation in electronics and devices, including electrical measurements (RF circuit experience is a plus)
Experience in nanofabrication, including photolithography and/or electron-beam lithography
Experience with TEM specimen preparation using focused ion beam (FIB) is preferred
Programming proficiency (e.g., Python) for experiment automation and/or image analysis is preferred
Background in electronic, magnetic, or optical materials is preferred; experience in ultrafast science is a plus
Strong record of peer-reviewed publications
Ability to model Argonne’s core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork
