Postdoctoral Researcher in the Study of Atomic-Scale Oxide Thin Films and Heterostructures
The University of Kentucky Department of Physics and
Astronomy seeks a postdoctoral Research Associate to strengthen our
on-going experimental research on atomic-scale oxide thin films and
heterostructures, with special emphasis on electronic transport,
photovoltaic, photo catalytic, ferroelectric, magnetic, and multiferroic
properties at interfaces. This position will provide an opportunity to
perform and develop independent research within an established team in the
Department and in the Center for Advanced Materials and using
well-equipped laboratories (including PLD with RHEED, High-Resolution XRD,
Spectrophotometers, AFM, 14T-PPMS, MPMS, TEM, L-He Liquefier etc.).
Opportunities for collaboration with off-campus facilities, such as the
Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (Oak Ridge National Laboratory),
are also encouraged.
Qualifications:
This position requires a Ph.D. in condensed matter
physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field, and a substantial
understanding of issues related to strongly correlated electrons,
transport properties, optical properties, photovoltaic properties,
ferroelectric properties, and magnetic properties. Experience in the
synthesis of oxide thin films is desired, and the candidate should be
familiar with common techniques of materials characterization. Applicants
cannot have received the most recent degree more than five years prior to
the date of application appointment and must complete all degree
requirements before starting their appointment. Demonstrated ability to
communicate in English is essential. Applications will be accepted until
the position is filled.
