Integrated Nanotechnologies Graduate Research Assistants

What You Will Do

The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), is seeking outstanding graduate research assistant candidates to join projects at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

Projects combine small and large interdisciplinary teams involved in chemical synthesis, nanodevice fabrication, optical characterization, electron microscopy characterization, nanomechanical characterization, theoretical simulation, and the bio-nano interface to predict, synthesize, and understand nanomaterials through studies that are unique to LANL experimental capabilities.

Being part of this highly multidisciplinary team, the successful applicant(s) will have the chance to be part of projects with far-reaching implications for leading to high quality publications.

What You Need

• Currently enrolled in an accredited Ph.D. program in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering or closely related discipline.

• Must be enrolled in at least 6 semester credit hours (or full-time equivalent).

• Students preparing to begin a graduate program of study must provide documentation indicating matriculation into an appropriate degree program.

• Must currently have and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent).

• Relevant research background to CINT scientists seeking students.

• Strong publication record quantified in terms of impact in the applicant's field.

• Demonstrated ability to work creatively and independently in collaboration with large interdisciplinary research teams comprising both experimentalists and theorists.

• Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively in oral and written English, both technically and interpersonally.

Education/Experience

• Completion of a bachelor's degree and acceptance into a U.S. graduate degree program in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering or a closely related field.

• A cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale is required.

Desired Qualifications

• Strong scientific record in the general area of candidate's research by publication in high impact factor journals.

• Strong citation of published work quantified through total citation count and h-index.

• Recognition through national or international honors and awards.

• Strong potential for attaining national and international stature in her/his field of research.
