About this position
Los Alamos National Laboratory is seeking multiple postdoctoral researchers to join the Strongly Correlated Electrons Team (SCES Team) and help develop and study quantum-coherent devices built from under-explored f-electron intermetallic materials.
The project combines materials discovery, device fabrication, and low-temperature measurement to explore new physics in strongly correlated systems. The team works across crystal growth, characterization, measurements under extreme conditions, NMR, photoemission, and neutron scattering, with interests that include unconventional superconductivity, topological matter, quantum entanglement, dark matter detection, and quantum sensing.
In this role, the postdoctoral researcher will fabricate nanoscale and mesoscale devices from intermetallic f-electron thin films and measure their transport and microwave properties at dilution-fridge temperatures. Example devices include superconducting resonators, kinetic inductance detectors, low-dimensional structures, and wires.
The position sits within a highly collaborative research environment at LANL, with close access to the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), the NHMFL pulsed magnetic field facility, and a strong theoretical condensed matter group. The advert emphasizes both fundamental discovery and the development of novel sensors and quantum information science technologies from new materials.

What's required
A Ph.D. in Physics or a related field completed within the past five years, or near completion, is required; all Ph.D. requirements must be finished by the start date. Applicants should have a strong background in experimental condensed matter physics or a related area, clean room fabrication experience with thin-film process development and optimization, and hands-on experience with wet and dry etching, plasma ashing, e-beam and/or photolithography, and wire bonding. The advert also asks for demonstrated peer-reviewed publication ability, effective communication skills, and the ability to work independently, creatively, and collaboratively. Desired experience includes experiments under extreme conditions such as low temperature, high magnetic field, or high pressure, RF and/or nanoscale transport measurements, superconducting devices, and physics of f-electron materials.
