About this position

Sandia National Laboratories is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee in Quantum Metasurface Fabrication to work with a Department of Energy-funded team at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The project lies at the intersection of quantum optics, nanophotonics, materials science, and optical engineering, with a primary emphasis on advanced nanofabrication.

The postdoctoral researcher will lead fabrication and process optimization for the next generation of quantum and nonlinear optical metasurfaces. The work will combine conventional top-down fabrication approaches with novel thin materials and heterogeneous integration. The researcher may also design, simulate, and characterize photonic structures using electromagnetic simulation tools, investigate new physical phenomena, and evaluate emerging concepts.

Experimental work will include advanced cleanroom processing and characterization of photonic and optoelectronic devices. Potential research activities involve electron-beam lithography, etching, metallization, scanning electron microscopy, linear and nonlinear optics, single-photon measurements, and quantum-optics experiments. The role may also engage with low-temperature measurements, femtosecond laser systems, time-resolved experiments, waveguides, gratings, modulators, lasers, amplifiers, and optical detectors.

The successful researcher will join a team with more than a decade of experience in quantum metasurfaces and nanophotonics, as well as the broader nanophotonics community across CINT and Sandia. CINT is a Department of Energy Office of Science Nanoscale Science Research Center and national user facility, with facilities in Albuquerque and Los Alamos that support nanoscale research by academic, industrial, and government users. Research outcomes may contribute to high-impact journal and conference publications and new intellectual property.

The position is based onsite at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque and offers an opportunity to work with state-of-the-art nanofabrication and research infrastructure.
