Postdoctoral Research Associate in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics (Plumb)

The momentum-resolved spectroscopy group led by Professor Kemp Plumb in the Department of Physics at Brown University invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in experimental condensed matter physics, with a focus on neutron scattering studies of out-of-equilibrium frustrated magnets. The successful candidate will work in the group of Prof. Kemp Plumb at Brown University in close collaboration with neutron scattering groups at Oak Ridge National Lab. The position is expected to extend for a period of two years, beginning in the fall of 2026, with a possibility of renewal for a third year contingent on performance, need, and availability of funding. For further information regarding the position, please contact Prof. Plumb at kemp_plumb@brown.edu.
