DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS
The Eberly College of Science, Department of Physics at The Pennsylvania State University is seeking to fill two postdoctoral positions in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics. The successful candidate will actively engage in Prof. Cui-Zu Chang's research program ( https://sites.psu.edu/changresearch/ ), which focuses on exploring quantum phenomena in films and heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The projects in Cui-Zu's group encompass a range of techniques, including MBE growth, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S), nanoscale device fabrication, mechanical exfoliation, and dilution electrical transport measurements. We are seeking an ideal candidate with expertise in at least one of these areas. Requirements include a Ph.D. in Physics or related fields. Applications must be submitted electronically and include a cover letter, CV, and statement of research interests. Applicants should arrange for three reference letters to be submitted to physicsapply@psu.edu indicating the appropriate job number in the subject line. This is a limited term appointment funded for one year from the date of hire, with the possibility of refunding. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until a suitable candidate is found. The Pennsylvania State University is committed to and accountable for advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability in all of its forms. We embrace individual uniqueness, foster a culture of inclusion that supports both broad and specific diversity initiatives, leverage the educational and institutional benefits of diversity in society and nature, and engage all individuals to help them thrive.
