About this position

Postdoctoral opportunities in the Redwing Group at Penn State are available in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University Park campus. The project centers on metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and related materials, with an emphasis on synthesis, characterization, and process development for thin-film materials research.

Scholars will work with the 2D Crystal Consortium facility and contribute to research activities that connect MOCVD growth with AI-assisted planning, analysis, and feedback. The advertised examples include developing growth, characterization, and doping processes for TMDs to support p-type device development, as well as exploring new precursor chemistries and using in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry to monitor growth and accelerate development. The exact research direction can be shaped by the scholar’s expertise and the needs of the program.

Postdoctoral researchers will plan and conduct experiments, analyze how growth conditions affect material structure and properties, and communicate findings through publications, group meetings, and conference presentations. The role also offers collaboration with interdisciplinary teams working in materials characterization, computational modeling, device fabrication, and machine learning/intelligent system design.

The appointment is in a research-intensive environment within Penn State’s College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, and it appears to be part of a broader effort to build data-rich experimental workflows for advanced materials discovery and development.

Funding details

Continuation past the term length will depend on university need, performance, and/or availability of funding. Penn State notes a competitive benefits package for full-time employees; postdoctoral benefits are referenced separately.

What's required

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, or a related field. Preferred qualifications include hands-on experience in electronic materials synthesis, characterization, and/or device fabrication. Strong experimental, analytical, and communication skills are required. Experience with MOCVD or related vapor-phase deposition, TMDs, materials characterization, or data-driven experimentation is desirable. Applicants do not need experience in every area described.

How to apply

Current Penn State employees and current Penn State students must apply internally through Workday. External applicants should click Apply and complete the Workday application process.
