We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to investigate quantum correlations and many-body dynamics in quantum condensed matter systems using advanced coherent x-ray scattering techniques. The successful candidate will develop and perform synchrotron-based coherent x-ray and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments to probe nano-to-meso-scale equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated materials, including charge, spin, and orbital ordered systems.The postdoc will also work closely and collaborate with the X-ray Scattering Group (XSG) in Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science at BNL.Essential Duties and Responsibilities:Responsible for planning, performing, and analyzing coherent x-ray scattering experimentsResponsible for disseminating research results in the form of conference presentations and publicationsRequired Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:PhD in physics, materials science, physical chemistry or related fieldSufficient understanding of the physics of quantum materialsExperience in x-ray scattering or related techniquesDemonstrated proficiency in programming language, such as PythonExcellent written and oral communication skills including writing academic papersAbility to work both independently and as part of a teamPreferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:Experience in synchrotron-based experimentsExperience in coherent x-rays or/and resonant x-ray scatteringExperience in strongly correlated oxidesUnderstanding of light-matter interactions in condensed matter systemsOther Information:Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to providing fair, equitable and competitive compensation. The full salary range for this position is $74,050.00 - $90,216.00 / year. Salary offers will be commensurate with the final candidate’s qualification, education and experience and considered with the internal peer group.BNL policy requires that after obtaining a PhD, eligible candidates for research associate appointments may not exceed a combined total of 5 years of relevant work experience as a post-doc and/or in an R&D position, excluding time associated with family planning, military service, illness or other life-changing events.Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. Review more information at BNL | Benefits ProgramBrookhaven National Laboratory requires all non-badged personnel including visitors to produce a REAL-ID or REAL-ID compliant documentation to access Brookhaven National Laboratory – view more information at www.bnl.gov/real-id . This is due to nationwide identification requirements for federal site access as required by the federal REAL ID Act . Those not in possession of a REAL ID-compliant document will not be permitted to access the site which includes access to the Laboratory for interviews .As a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory requires employees to obtain and maintain a DOE Uncleared Personal Identity Verification (UPIV) credential in accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) requirements.
