Scholar Scientist in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science

 The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, FL is seeking a scientist/scholar in the area of experimental condensed matter physics and materials science with an emphasis on experimental techniques at low temperatures and high magnetic fields.  Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field with previous post-doctoral experience highly desirable.   The ideal candidate will have hands on experience making measurements at low temperatures in high magnetic fields and be aware of the many measurement problems that arise as well as solutions to those problems. The ideal candidate would have experience with many different types of high magnetic field measurements, including –for example- one or more of the following: electrical transport, thermal and thermoelectric effects, specific heat, low noise measurements, optical measurements, acoustic measurements, magnetic resonance, force magnetometry and/or torque magnetometry.

This position is in the DC Field Condensed Matter Science group and the successful candidate will be expected to spend a portion of their time helping users in the NHMFL’s DC Field Facility. As a member of the NHMFL, the successful applicant will also be expected to show leadership in the development of a broader, collaborative research program, will have the option to pursue outside funding for personal research, and will be expected to participate proactively in other functions of the Lab, including committee participation, supervision and mentorship of students and postdoctoral researchers, and community outreach.

The NHMFL is the world’s premier magnet laboratory with state-of-the-art high magnetic field facilities (up to 21T in superconducting magnets, 36 in resistive DC magnets,  45T in hybrid DC magnets, and 100T in pulsed magnets) for research in physics, materials science, engineering, chemistry, geochemistry, biochemistry, and biology.

Interested candidates can apply to Florida State University at https://jobs.fsu.edu and reference Job Requisition #35251. Please attach your curriculum vitae, cover letter describing your research experience, and names and contact information of at least three references.  For additional information, please contact Ms. Bettina Roberson, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University, 1800 E. Paul Dirac Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32310-2740, 850-644-0855.  Additional information may be attached and emailed to roberson@magnet.fsu.edu.  The NHMFL is operated for the National Science Foundation by a collaboration of institutions comprising Florida State University, the University of Florida, and Los Alamos National Laboratory.  The Florida State University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action employer, committed to diversity in hiring, and a Public Records Agency.
