About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Nanoscale Processes and Measurements Group, is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow through the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program. This opportunity is ideal for an Experimental Condensed Matter Physicist with a strong background in building and operating advanced scientific instrumentation, particularly Scanning Probe Microscopes (STM/AFM) designed for ultra-low temperature (10 mK) and high magnetic field (15 T) environments.

The successful candidate will join a team focused on developing novel instrumentation for cutting-edge nanoscale measurement and materials research. Responsibilities include designing piezo-electric motors, scanners, and cryo-preamplifiers for mK operation, constructing UHV chambers and transfer systems, wiring and operating dilution refrigerators, and fabricating 2D materials and superconductors using Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). The role also involves programming instrument control systems using LabVIEW (Nanonis) and Python, as well as proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo Elements) and scientific illustration.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and at least five years of deep instrumentation experience, including building STM/AFM heads, FIM tip preparation, and qPlus sensor assembly. Expertise in ultra-low temperature, UHV, and high magnetic field environments is essential. Candidates must be eligible for a Department of Commerce background check for facility access.

This postdoctoral fellowship offers the chance to work at the intersection of physics, materials science, and advanced instrumentation, contributing to the development of state-of-the-art research tools for nanoscale science. The position is based at The George Washington University in Washington, DC, with close collaboration with NIST.

To apply, candidates should use the provided application link and ensure their qualifications align with the requirements. For further information, contact Professor David Broniatowski via LinkedIn.
