About this position

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is seeking two Postdoctoral Research Associates in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences to advance next-generation electron microscopy and spectroscopy for quantum materials. The work will examine connections between material structure, electronic behavior, and collective excitations.

The researchers will develop and apply momentum-resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (qEELS), contributing to instrument development, commissioning, experimental measurements, computational modeling, and data-driven interpretation. Projects may address electronic properties, scattering phenomena, structure–property relationships, and the behavior of quantum and correlated materials.

The positions are located in the Electron Microscopy and Microanalysis Group within CNMS’s Nanomaterials Characterization Section and ORNL’s Physical Sciences Directorate. The team integrates advanced electron microscopy, materials characterization, scientific instrumentation, computational approaches, and complementary scattering methods, including neutron scattering.

Researchers will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across CNMS, ORNL’s Neutron Scattering Division, and external partners. Activities include developing scientific software and reproducible workflows, designing experiments, interpreting data, publishing results, presenting at conferences, and contributing to research proposals and reports.

Funding details

Compensation is described as competitive pay with employee benefits, including medical, retirement and pension plans, prescription, dental and vision coverage, life and disability insurance, vacation and holidays, parental leave, educational assistance, relocation assistance, wellness programs, and other benefits. The appointment is up to 24 months with potential extension, subject to performance and funding availability. No stipend or specific salary amount is stated.

What's required

A PhD in physics, applied physics, materials science and engineering, or a related field completed within the last five years is required, and all degree requirements must be completed before the appointment begins. Candidates should have research experience in one or more of electron microscopy and spectroscopy, scientific instrumentation, quantum materials and condensed matter physics, computational science and data analysis, or complementary scattering techniques. Preferred qualifications include experience with transmission electron microscopy, electron energy-loss spectroscopy, electron diffraction, electron optics, instrument development, computational modeling, scientific programming, numerical simulation, machine learning, neutron or x-ray scattering, scientific software or automated workflows using Python, independent research, multidisciplinary collaboration, and strong written and oral communication. Applicants must be able to obtain and maintain an HSPD-12 PIV badge or applicable LSSO determination and pass the required federal background investigation.

How to apply

Apply through the ORNL jobs portal using the advertised position. Submit the required application materials and three letters of reference; letters may be uploaded to the candidate profile or emailed to [email protected] with the position title and number in the subject line.
