About this position

Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee at the Advanced Photon Source in Lemont, Illinois, United States, to work on ultrafast microscale photonics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for X-ray optics.

The project develops highly nonlinear MEMS-based oscillators driven by storage-ring radio-frequency signals. The devices will support advanced manipulation of X-ray pulses at synchrotron radiation facilities and other accelerator-based photon sources. Research activities include MEMS design and simulation, device testing and characterization, feedback and control strategies, and time-resolved X-ray experiments using MEMS-based optics.

The appointment is normally two years, with the possibility of renewal for a third year depending on project progress and funding. The expected hiring range is $72,879-$121,465, and comprehensive employee benefits are included.

Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or a related field, completed within the past five years or expected soon. Preferred expertise includes MEMS materials and X-ray optics, MEMS measurement and simulation, signal processing, RF test instrumentation, feedback loops, control algorithms, and X-ray scattering. Strong communication, teamwork, research-output, and independent working skills are also required.

Applications should be submitted through the Argonne Careers Workday portal for requisition 422989.

Funding details

Full-time fixed-term postdoctoral appointment, typically for two years with possible renewal for a third year subject to project progress and funding. The expected hiring range is $72,879-$121,465, with comprehensive employee benefits.

What's required

A Ph.D. in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or a related field completed within the past five years or soon to be completed is required. Experience in X-ray scattering is desirable but not required. Candidates should understand materials used in MEMS and their compatibility with X-ray optics, and have expertise in MEMS testing, characterization, measurement, feedback loops, control algorithms, and simulation software. Hands-on experience with signal processing and RF test instrumentation, strong written and verbal communication skills, ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, ability to synthesize research into journal articles, technical reports, and conference presentations, self-motivation, relevant research interest, and commitment to Argonne’s core values are expected.

How to apply

Apply through the Argonne Careers Workday application page for requisition 422989. Review the position requirements and submit the required application materials through the online portal.
