About this position

The George Washington University, in collaboration with the NIST Professional Research Experience (PREP) program, is seeking a Senior Research Fellow to join the Materials Measurement Laboratory. This postdoctoral-level opportunity focuses on advancing next-generation semiconductor manufacturing metrology, with a particular emphasis on nanocalorimetry for plasma process monitoring. The successful candidate will design and build a custom plasma reactor that integrates NIST-produced sensors, enabling real-time characterization of etching and deposition processes.

Key responsibilities include designing and assembling a custom plasma reactor, utilizing plasma diagnostics such as Langmuir probes and optical emission techniques, analyzing data on radical and ionic fluxes, and publishing findings on plasma-surface interactions in high-impact journals. The research is highly interdisciplinary, spanning materials science, plasma physics, chemistry, and chemical engineering, and is ideal for candidates with a strong background in instrumentation and process monitoring.

Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering, with hands-on experience in custom plasma reactor design and assembly. Expertise in plasma diagnostics and a background in calorimetry or thermal property measurements are essential. U.S. citizenship is preferred but not strictly required. The position is based in Washington, DC, United States, and offers the opportunity to work closely with leading researchers at both George Washington University and NIST.

To apply, candidates should use the provided application link and ensure they meet all qualifications. This is a paid research position, though specific funding details are not disclosed in the announcement. For more information, applicants may contact Professor David Broniatowski or refer to the provided LinkedIn profile.
