Postdoctoral/Research Associate Position in High-Brightness Ultrafast Electron Microscopy at MSU

["Kunjir, Shriraj via Tech-talk" <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Dear Tech-Talkers,

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral (research associate) position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University under the supervision of Prof. Chong-Yu Ruan. The appointment is for up to two years, with the potential for renewal based on the availability of new funding. The position is available immediately and will remain open until filled.

 

Job Description: The successful candidate will work with MSU’s ultrafast science research team to relocate the existing high-brightness femtosecond electron microscope system to a newly renovated facility. This effort will involve implementing precision controls aimed at achieving multimodal imaging at sub-50 femtosecond resolution, building on recent benchmark studies. The candidate will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers to execute the relocation plan within the first year and subsequently manage further benchmark studies and applications.

 

Qualifications:

•                     Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field.

•                     Experience with ultrafast laser systems, multimodal electron microscopy, and/or radio-frequency (RF) accelerators is highly desirable.

 

Application Deadline: Review of the applications will start January 15, 2025. Submissions after the initial due date will be considered until the positions are filled.

 

How to Apply:

Applications, including a cover letter and a curriculum vitae with a list of three references, should be submitted to careers.msu.edu under posting number 1011733.
