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

About the role

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.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Shepherd the interface between government and academia, stationed in the laboratory of Dr. Kang Wang at UCLA and collaborate with other ARL researchers pursuing similar goals.
• Take advantage of years of expertise developed in Dr. Wang's laboratory to build, test and study nascent conceptual device designs.

Requirements

This position requires a Doctoral Degree in a relevant field. Experience in the synthesis and fabrication of high-quality topological, magnetic materials and heterostructures, and in electrical and magnetic characterization techniques is essential. Knowledge of theoretical descriptions of concept topological electronic devices (TEDs) and ability to demonstrate them through practical applications are also required.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in condensed matter physics, magnetism, interfacial phenomena, topological materials, and electronic devices. They should also possess excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and collaboratively.

Skills

Strong skills in programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, and C++ are preferred. Proficiency in electrical and magnetic characterization techniques is also necessary.

Benefits

The fellowship offers a competitive GS-12 equivalent stipend rate.

Pay

The fellowship offers a competitive GS-12 equivalent stipend rate.

Schedule
