ARL-North East: Topological Materials and Interfacial Coupling for Electronic Device Application

About the Research

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) seeks a highly motivated, well-informed, cross-disciplinary and skilled postdoctoral fellow with experience in the synthesis and fabrication of high-quality topological, magnetic materials and heterostructures, and in electrical and magnetic characterization techniques. This postdoctoral fellow will investigate controls for physical processes that underlie theoretical descriptions of concept topological electronic devices (TEDs) for efficient electronics, sensors, and/or radio frequency (RF) technologies and demonstrate them. This postdoctoral fellow will shepherd the interface between government and academia, stationed in the laboratory of Dr. Jagadeesh Moodera at MIT and collaborate with other ARL researchers pursuing similar goals.

About SEDD

The Sensors and Electron Devices Directorate (SEDD) is the Army’s principal center for research and development in the exploration and exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes radio frequency, microwave, millimeter-wave, infrared (IR), visible, and audio regions. SEDD is responsible for advances in laser sources, RF sources, IR sensors, signature detection and decoding, target imaging and its interpretation, fusion of data derived from several sensors, and electromagnetic protection.

About ARL-RAP

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory (ARL) help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as: applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
