About this position

Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, United States, is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee in atomic layer deposition (ALD) for X-ray optics fabrication. The position is based in the X-ray Science Division’s Optics Group.

The postdoctoral researcher will develop and optimize ALD processes for depositing thick multilayer structures on flat and patterned substrates. Research will include characterization of film thickness, crystallinity, strain, and optical properties using X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectometry, transmission X-ray microscopy, and electron microscopy.

Additional work involves specifying, designing, and commissioning ALD reactor systems; developing thin-film metrology methods; improving deposition accuracy during extended deposition campaigns; and testing diffractive optics at the 1-BM beamline and potentially other Advanced Photon Source beamlines. The researcher will collaborate with scientists in Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials, Materials Science Division, and Applied Materials Division.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related discipline completed within the past 0–5 years. Required experience includes ALD reactor operation, precursor chemistry or process development, thin-film characterization, and SEM or TEM structural analysis. Strong peer-reviewed publications, communication skills, and the ability to work independently and collaboratively are expected. Experience with ALD reaction kinetics, thin-film metrology, lithography, deep reactive-ion etching, or related nanofabrication is preferred.

This is a full-time, long-term fixed-term postdoctoral appointment. The expected hiring range is $72,879–$121,465, with comprehensive benefits.
