About this position
Michigan Technological University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in Physics based at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States. The project is part of a collaboration with BNL to develop next-generation cloud chamber technology for studying aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions.
The postdoc will lead and support cloud chamber experiments, operate research instrumentation, work with aerosol-generation systems and cloud droplet probes, analyze data, and help disseminate results through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications. The role also highlights interest in laboratory experiments, optics, and AI/ML tools, especially embodied AI, for experimental control and data analysis.
Required qualifications include a Ph.D. in atmospheric science, physics, engineering, or a related field, plus experience in laboratory studies. Desirable experience includes operating research-grade instrumentation, cloud chamber research, instrument development, and familiarity with AI/ML tools. Strong communication skills, independent research ability, and evidence of publications and conference presentations are also valued.
The appointment is 12 months and the salary range is USD 70,000–90,000, depending on experience and qualifications. The position is contingent on continued external funding and applicants must be eligible to work in the United States without sponsorship.
