Postdoctoral Research Associate | Spectroscopy and Materials Synthesize
University of North Texas - Denton, Houston, TX, United States
Position Overview
The Physics Department at the University of North Texas seeks a postdoctoral researcher in spectroscopy and materials synthesize. The research activity will focus on developing and characterizing emerging materials for solar applications. The position will also work on developing novel spectrometers and characterizing materials electrooptical properties in the visible to the Terahertz range. The postdoctoral researcher will closely work with our chemistry and engineering collaborators to measure ultrafast photoconductivity and to understand the physical origin of these properties. The applicant is expected to train and closely work with graduate and undergraduate students. Contribution to scientific publications and grant applications is expected.
Minimum Qualifications
PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field; research experience in spectroscopy or materials growth and characterization.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with materials synthesis and characterization.
Job Duties
Conduct experimental research under the supervision of the Principal Investigator. e.g. plan, develop, and assemble advanced spectrometers; synthesize and characterize novel materials; initiate and conduct research; gather, analyze, and interpret data; connect with contemporary research activities/publications; document research activity, develop synthesize protocols.
Contribute to the mentoring and training of students and junior colleagues.
Contribute to grant writing.
Disseminate research activity to the research community, resources and funding agencies, and the group and PI in the form of oral presentations, posters, research reports, and manuscripts and publications.
