Postdoctoral Researcher in Electrically Driven Ultrafast Electron Microscopy and Materials Science Argonne National Laboratory in United States

The Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join their team and lead innovative research in electrically driven ultrafast electron microscopy of materials and nanostructures for electronics. This position offers the opportunity to work at a Department of Energy user facility renowned for its expertise and infrastructure in nanoscience and nanotechnology research.

The successful candidate will advance the state-of-the-art in ultrafast electron microscopy, enabling imaging of electrically driven dynamics with nanometer-scale spatial and nanosecond-scale temporal resolution. The research will focus on pioneering investigations of radiofrequency (MHz–GHz) nanoscale phenomena in systems relevant to microelectronics and quantum information science. This role is ideal for candidates interested in pushing the boundaries of materials science, physics, and electrical engineering, particularly in the context of next-generation electronics and quantum technologies.

Applicants should hold a PhD in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Experience with electron microscopy, ultrafast measurement techniques, or nanoscience is highly desirable. The position requires strong experimental skills, the ability to work both independently and collaboratively, and excellent communication abilities.

This is a fully funded postdoctoral position, offering a competitive salary and benefits package as per Argonne National Laboratory's policies. The CNM provides a collaborative and resource-rich environment for cutting-edge research, with access to world-class facilities and expertise.

To apply, candidates should visit the Argonne Careers portal and submit their application materials as instructed. For more information, applicants can refer to the official job posting or contact the CNM team directly.

Relevant research areas include ultrafast electron microscopy, nanostructures, materials science, electronics, radiofrequency dynamics, and quantum information science. The application window is open until the position is filled.
