About this position
Ames National Laboratory at Iowa State University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate for a 4-month term in the Division of Materials Science and Engineering. The project focuses on the characterization of kagome metals through high magnetic field measurements, including heat capacity and magnetotransport experiments.
The successful researcher will work in an experimental environment centered on high-field and pulsed-field studies, with direct hands-on work preparing single-crystal samples and carrying out measurements in demanding cryogenic and high-magnetic-field conditions. The role is positioned within a national laboratory setting on the Iowa State University campus, supporting applied research and materials discovery efforts.
The posting emphasizes a collaborative research culture with expectations for careful laboratory record keeping, communication across interdisciplinary teams, and progress toward project milestones. Experience at major user facilities such as the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is especially valued.

What's required
A Ph.D. in experimental condensed-matter physics, applied physics, materials science and engineering, or a closely related field is required. Preferred qualifications include hands-on experience with low-temperature experimental techniques, cryogenic systems, focused ion-beam sample preparation, high magnetic fields and pulsed fields, and experience at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Background in magnetism and topological materials, familiarity with transport and PPMS/MPMS characterization, and strong written, oral, collaborative, and record-keeping skills are also preferred.
