Brookhaven National Laboratory is seeking to develop and perform ultrafast nonlinear spectroscopies of quantum materials, specifically multi-dimensional spectroscopies in the terahertz to optical frequency ranges, to study strongly correlated electron systems, topological materials, and low-dimensional nanostructures.
Requirements
- Demonstrated data analysis skills.
- Experience building free-space optical setups.
- Experience with ultrafast laser systems.
- Experience with mJ-class ultrafast laser amplifiers.
- Experience with using ultrafast optical parametric amplifiers.
- Experience with cryogenic systems.
- Experience generating and using intense mid- and far-infrared light pulses.
Responsibilities
- Responsible for using a home-built multi-dimensional terahertz spectrometer and a commercial multi-dimensional optical spectrometer towards studying the properties of varied “quantum materials”.
- This will involve coordinating experimental acquisition and subsequent analysis of data.
- Responsible for disseminating research results in the form of conference presentations and writing of publications.
Other
- PhD. in Physics or related discipline
- Demonstrated written and oral communication skills in English, be self-motivated and able to work both independently and as a part of a multi-institutional team.
- Ability to interact effectively with a diverse group of scientists and technical staff.
- Proven ability to disseminate research results.
- Able to work closely and communicate effectively with colleagues focused on other experimental and theoretical techniques.
