Description

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory's Materials Sciences Division (MSD) has an opening for a Materials Science Postdoctoral Fellow to carry out characterization and synthesis of scintillators with applications in the detection of ionizing radiation. We are looking for strong demonstrated experience and knowledge on the physics, characterization and synthesis of luminescent and scintillating materials.

What You Will Do:

Synthesize and design new scintillating materials under scientific staff supervision.

Apply characterization techniques to qualify and understand these new materials properties.

Analyze and interpret experimental results.

Contribute to collaborative research with researchers of various scientific backgrounds.

Contribute to the development of research project ideas.

Prepare reports, research papers, and presentations, and present results at meetings.

Participate in weekly meetings and regular seminars.

Take an active role in ensuring workplace safety and adhere to all safety guidelines, procedures and policies. Maintain a clean, clear, and organized workspace.

What is Required:

A recent Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, Physics, or other related fields.

Demonstrated expertise in scintillator characterization and synthesis.

Ability to work independently to achieve project goals, meet deadlines, solve problems, and promote scientific ideas.

Ability to effectively interact and collaborate with a diverse team and contribute to the shared goals of the team. Sharing of data with the team is common practice and mandatory.

Excellent verbal and written communication and interpersonal skills.

Desired Qualifications:

Python/C++ programming.

Simulation with Geant4.

This position will remain open until filled.

Notes:

This is a full-time, 2-year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.

You must have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral experience.

Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post- degree.

Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates.

This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes.

This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment.
