Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to investigate quantum correlations and many-body dynamics in quantum condensed matter systems using advanced coherent x-ray scattering techniques. The successful candidate will develop and perform synchrotron-based coherent x-ray and x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments to probe nano-to-meso-scale equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated materials, including charge, spin, and orbital ordered systems.

The postdoc will also work closely and collaborate with the X-ray Scattering Group (XSG) in Condensed Matter Physics & Materials Science at BNL.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Responsible for planning, performing, and analyzing coherent x-ray scattering experiments

  • Responsible for disseminating research results in the form of conference presentations and publications

  • Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:
