Postdoctoral Fellow Positions, Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena
Yale University
Posted: Wednesday, February 15, 2012
[Appearing in the March Issue of MRS Bulletin]
The Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena (CRISP) at Yale has two postdoctoral fellow position openings, one involves first principles theoretical modeling of complex oxide surfaces and interfaces, and the other focuses on experimental fabrication and characterization of multifunctional complex oxides.
The theory group focuses on performing first principles theoretical studies of the structural, mechanical, chemical, and electronic properties of complex oxide interfaces and surfaces by both applying state-of-the-art methods and developing novel approaches for dealing with electronic correlations. The candidate should have a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, materials physics, or a related field and have significant prior experience with first principles calculations.
The experimental group aims to develop novel epitaxial complex oxide materials using advanced growth and characterization techniques, including molecular beam epitaxy, low temperature transport measurements, scanning probe microscopy, and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques. We are looking for candidates who have expertise in a physics-based approach to the study of materials and experience in materials growth and characterization (e.g., molecular beam epitaxy, scanning probe microscopy, and synchrotron diffraction).
Applications containing a C.V., a cover letter describing research interests and goals, a list of publications, and names and contact information for three letter of recommendation writers (to be sent upon request) should be sent to ayse.kose@yale.edu. Kindly have all electronic mail begin its subject with “CRISP POSTDOC:” followed by the applicant’s surname.
Yale University is an Equal Opportunity employer, and applications from underrepresented groups are encouraged.
