ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:

• PhD in Condensed Matter Physics, Applied Physics, Physical Chemistry, or a closely related field.

EXPERIENCE:

Required:

• Minimum 7 years post-degree experience in experimental condensed matter physics, with emphasis on electronic characterization and sound fundamental understanding of solid-state physics, including band structure and electron correlation effects.

• Demonstrated breadth in scientific ability through peer-reviewed publication.

• Demonstrated ability to formulate, plan, and conduct research projects with defined objectives and deliverables within budget and on schedule.

Desired:

• At least 10 years hands-on experimental experience in one or more of the following areas of condensed matter physics relating to the electronic properties of materials: carrier lifetime and transport, tunneling in quantum confined structures, correlated electron systems, optoelectronic materials, wide bandgap semiconductors, thermoelectric materials, systems near metal-insulator instabilities.

• Strong analytical skills; familiarity with theory.

• Experience in synthesizing and understanding of electronic materials at the nano scale as well as the macro scale.

• Laboratory experience (including device fabrication) with analysis of correlations between experimental results and physical models

• Experience with materials synthesis/processing as well as characterization is highly desirable.

• Experience at the faculty, national lab, or industrial research lab level.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Strong interpersonal skills, demonstrated ability to work across multiple disciplines as part of a team.

• Demonstrated ability to work in an environment with rapidly changing deliverables.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Lead and participate in interdisciplinary research teams, leveraging your broad experience in electronic structure and transport in macro- to nano-scale systems to provide physical insight and enable cost-effective technical solutions.

• Contribute to the development of practical electronic materials by providing condensed matter physics understanding to an interdisciplinary team of materials scientists, electrical engineers, physicists, and chemists. Materials of interest include photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, wide band gap semiconductors, and field emitters.

• Leverage your technical skills and experience to provide direction to a multi-disciplinary team in technology development and transfer of technology.

• Optimize materials through experiments and modeling of structural, electronic, and compositional parameters critical to their function.
