About this position

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral research associate to investigate correlated and topological quantum materials within the Correlated Electron Materials Group, part of the Foundational Materials Science Section in ORNL’s Materials Science and Technology Division.

The project focuses on accelerating the discovery of antiferromagnets with spin-polarized electronic band structures, including altermagnets and p-wave magnets, as well as topological spin textures. The researcher will use neutron and x-ray scattering to characterize quantum materials and study their structural, electronic, magnetic, and topological properties.

The work will draw on concepts including quantum geometry and spin space groups, together with machine-learning-driven approaches to experimental data analysis. The researcher will contribute to a collaborative environment spanning materials synthesis, quantum transport, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and neutron and x-ray scattering.

Responsibilities include conducting neutron- or photon-based diffraction and spectroscopy, analyzing experimental data, collaborating with researchers across the laboratory, publishing scientific papers, and presenting findings at conferences. The appointment is based at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Funding details

ORNL offers competitive pay and employee benefits, including medical and retirement plans, flexible work hours, prescription, dental and vision plans, 401(k) and pension plans, life and disability insurance, vacation and holidays, parental leave, legal insurance, employee assistance, flexible spending and health savings accounts, wellness programs, educational assistance, relocation assistance, and employee discounts. No specific salary or stipend amount is stated.

What's required

Applicants must have completed a PhD in Condensed Matter Physics or a closely related field within the last five years and must complete all degree requirements before starting. Applicants need experience in the physics of correlated and topological materials and expertise in neutron and/or x-ray scattering. Preferred qualifications include substantial neutron and x-ray scattering experience, including proposal writing, data collection, and advanced analysis; proficiency in Python, LabVIEW, or similar scripting/programming languages; experience applying AI or machine learning to experimental datasets; strong written and oral communication skills; and the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced research environment. The position requires the ability to obtain and maintain an HSPD-12 PIV badge or, where applicable, a favorable LSSO risk determination.

How to apply

Apply through the ORNL careers portal using the position title and requisition number 17415. Submit the required application materials and three letters of reference, either by uploading them to the application or sending them to [email protected] with the position title and number in the subject line.
