Job Opportunities at Modern Electron: R&D Physicist

Hello UIUC Physics graduate students and alumni! Looking for a position at an exciting, fast-paced research and development company? Modern Electron is a startup on a mission to generate cheap, modular and reliable electricity for all! We have 20+ issued patents and over $10 MM in venture capital funding, and we are looking for intelligent individuals to join our R&D team.

As an R&D Physicist at Modern Electron, you would be responsible for designing and conducting experiments on our prototype nanofabricated anodes under hot cathodes in custom-built ultra-high vacuum (UHV) chambers. You will analyze the data, draw conclusions, and communicate the results to the computational physics and nanofabrication teams in order to complete a feedback loop aimed at gaining a robust understanding of the electron optics, surface chemistry, and practical limitations of the prototype anodes.

If you are interested in this position, please send me your resume and I can forward it to the hiring manager. If you would like more information on the position, please visit the job description posted on our website. Note that other positions are also available, and that Modern Electron is open to internships.
