Postdoctoral Positions in Superconducting Interfaces and Ferroelectric/Piezoelectric Nitrides at Penn State University Penn State University in United States

Penn State University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering is announcing two open postdoctoral scholar positions in the Jon-Paul Maria Group. The research areas include superconducting interfaces and ferroelectric/piezoelectric nitrides with a focus on microfabricated resonators. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or a closely related field. Experience in thin film growth, thin film characterization, and electrical property measurements is highly desirable.

The positions offer an opportunity to work in a leading research group at Penn State, engaging in advanced materials research with applications in superconductivity and piezoelectricity. The group encourages interested candidates to apply via the official Penn State Workday portal, with direct links provided for each position. While funding details are not specified, postdoctoral roles at Penn State are typically fully funded, including salary and benefits.

Applicants are encouraged to reach out with questions or share the opportunity within their professional networks. The research environment is collaborative and interdisciplinary, making it ideal for candidates with strong backgrounds in materials science, physics, electrical engineering, and chemistry. The application window is open, and candidates should refer to the official job postings for further details and deadlines.
