About this position
Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join the Materials Science Division’s Quantum States and Crystalline Matter Group in Lemont, Illinois, United States.
The project focuses on the discovery and study of novel quantum materials, particularly superconductors. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct exploratory synthesis and crystal growth of solid-state inorganic materials, including chalcogenides, pnictides, halides, hydroxides, and intermetallic compounds. Research will also include powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, single-crystal structure determination, optical spectroscopy, and magnetic and electrical property measurements to establish structure-property relationships and investigate emergent quantum phenomena.
Applicants should hold, or be close to completing, a PhD in Physics, Materials Science, or Chemistry, generally awarded within the past five years. Relevant experience with molten-flux growth, Bridgman crystal growth, chemical vapor transport, and related synthesis methods is expected, together with practical materials characterization skills. Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration abilities are important.
This is a full-time, long-term fixed-term postdoctoral appointment requiring onsite work at Argonne National Laboratory. The expected hiring range is $72,879–$121,465, with comprehensive benefits. Candidates should apply with a CV, cover letter, and contact details for three professional references through the Argonne Careers portal.
