美国西北太平洋国家实验室纳米材料合成人才博士后招聘

This position requires expertise in the synthesis and structural characterization of nanostructured materials derived from solution templating techniques. Fundamental research is focused on understanding the mechanisms and kinetics of solution and vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) synthesis. Synthesis methods will involve use of templating agents or bio-inspired processing routes to achieve size and shape controllable synthesis across scales. In situ techniques (such as TEM) are the principal technique that will be used to investigate nucleation and self-assembly and advance the understanding of the relationship between surface structure/chemistry, pathways of formation, and materials properties.

Excellent oral and written communications skills are required. Other duties will include publication of results in peer-reviewed journals, technical presentations at scientific conferences, and development of proposals for new research projects. The candidate must be able to independently design and carry out experiments as well as function productively as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Minimum Qualifications
- Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years from an accredited college or university.

Qualifications
- Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related field
- Background in experimental physics, chemical physics, or materials science
- Expertise in TEM imaging, elemental analysis, and diffraction pattern analysis
- Experience with EDS, EELS, XRD analysis
- Experience with AFM-based imaging (optional)
- Experience working with solution-based nanoparticle systems
- Strong analytical skills
- Knowledge of Crystallography
- Record of excellence in research
- Demonstrated capability to think and act independently
- Excellent written and oral communication skills
- Ability to collaborate
