Postdoc: 2D Materials & Devices for Steep-Slope Transistors

Brookhaven National Laboratory; Upton (NY); On-site; USD 72,000 - 82,000; Full time

Job summary

Brookhaven National Laboratory is seeking a talented Postdoctoral Research Associate to investigate 2D material heterostructures for steep-slope transistors in a DOE MSRC project. You will work under the Electronic Nanomaterials Group to explore materials, devices, and interfaces using CFN facilities, including QPress and Nanofabrication.

The role emphasizes hands-on fabrication, low-temperature measurements, and novel device architectures, with a 2-year assignment and strong collaboration

Qualifications

• Ph.D. in a relevant discipline (Materials Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related engineering).
• Demonstrated experimental expertise in 2D heterostructure device fabrication and electrical characterization, including 2D material exfoliation/transfer and low-temperature measurements.
• Experience in nanofabrication processes (e-beam lithography, PVD, ALD) and electrical device data analysis; strong communication via publications/presentations.
• Commitment to creative, independent research, teamwork, and safe, ethical practice.
• Commitment to an inclusive and respectful workplace.

Responsibilities

• Develop, fabricate, and characterize 2D heterostructures for steep-slope devices.
