Nihar Pradhan

A postdoctoral research position is available immediately in the group of Associate Professor Nihar Pradhan at Jackson State University, United States. The research focuses on 2D materials and their heterostructures, with a particular emphasis on the physics of ferroelectricity and applications in energy-efficient electronic devices. The group utilizes advanced techniques such as Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and PFM measurements to explore ferroelectricity in 2D materials, and is involved in device fabrication using lithography in clean room environments. Candidates will have the opportunity to conduct electrical transport measurements of nanoscale devices and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Physics, Nanoscience, Engineering, Materials Science, or a related physical sciences field. Strong expertise in 2D materials research, especially with AFM and PFM, is required. Experience in device fabrication, clean room protocols, and electrical measurements is essential. The position is ideal for candidates interested in advancing research in nanoscale physics, materials science, and device engineering. Interested candidates should send their CV to Prof Pradhan at [email protected]. For more information, see the LinkedIn profile and announcement links provided.
