Theory Postdoctoral Research Associate: Strongly Corrolated Electronic Materials
The Group of Condensed Matter and Complex Systems in the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has an immediate opening of postdoctoral positions in the area of theoretical modeling and simulation of strongly correlated electronic materials. The opened positions provide an opportunity to pursue transport, thermodynamical, and magnetic and other emergent properties in f-electron materials. One position will focus on using the first-principles many-body approaches to calculating the static and dynamical correlation functions, thermodynamical and transport properties. The other position will focus on building and solving low-energy models from band structure calculations of real materials. Both will involve working closely with experimentalists on elucidating the f-electron heavy fermion physics and other emergent properties.

Postdoctoral Research Associate: "Discovering Quantum Anomalies Through Strain” Ultrafast Optical Characterization
The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) seeks outstanding postdoctoral candidates to join the “Discovering Quantum Anomalies through Strain” project team at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Experimental positions will interface strongly with the theoreticians in the Physics of Condensed Matter and Complex Systems Group (T-4), experimentalists in the National High Magnetic Field Pulsed Field Facility (MPA-MAGLAB), and Quantum Group (MPA-Q). The large, interdisciplinary project combines materials informatics, strain-based characterization, high magnetic fields, and ultrafast optics to quantitatively predict and experimentally isolate signatures of quantum anomalies in condensed matter, through experiments that are unique to LANL experimental capabilities. The postdocs will investigate Dirac semi-metals, a new class of topological quantum materials whose band structure can be tuned using strain.
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Photoemission Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials
The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) seeks an outstanding candidate to fill an immediate postdoctoral opening in static and ultrafast photoemission spectroscopy on quantum materials. The successful candidate will focus on establishing new capabilities in photoemission spectroscopy ranging from in-situ strain to the development of laser based light sources. Systems of interest include strongly correlated f-electron systems, topological materials, and low-dimensional materials. Some studies may also be performed at multiple national user facilities, including the Advanced Light Source, Linac Coherent Light Source, and the National Synchrotron Light Source II.
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Quantum Matter Synthesis
The Strongly Correlated Electron Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory has an immediate opening for up to two postdoctoral positions, with an emphasis on synthesis and characterization of quantum materials. Our multifaceted, highly collaborative team, which includes capabilities in sample growth, characterization, device fabrication, and measurements under extreme conditions (high pressure, high fields, and low temperature), explores new physics through new materials. Our interests for this position include, but are not limited to: topological matter, heavy fermion physics, low-dimensional physics, unconventional superconductivity, quantum criticality, and new phases of quantum matter. The successful applicant will benefit not only from a highly interactive environment within our team but also from the close proximity of the NHMFL pulsed magnetic field facility, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT), and the Theoretical Condensed Matter group at Los Alamos. We seek highly motivated individuals who are passionate about physics to develop and explore new ideas on quantum materials. Any inquiries about this specific opening are welcome and should be sent to edbauer@lanl.gov
Postdoctoral Research Associate: Probing Ultrafast Structural and Electronic Phase Transitions at X-ray Free Electron Laser Sources
The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) seeks outstanding candidates to fill a postdoctoral opening at the Laboratory for Ultrafast Materials and Optical Science (LUMOS). This position is part of a collaboration between LANL, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where a successful candidate will be jointly supervised by principal investigators at both institutions.
This position will focus on ultrafast optical, terahertz, and X-ray spectroscopy of quantum materials, with a particular emphasis on using intense, terahertz pulses to drive structural and electronic phase transitions within these materials. Systems of interest include strongly correlated electron systems, topological materials, and 2D van der Waal systems. On-site experimental facilities include several amplified femtosecond laser systems with wavelengths tunable from soft X-ray to THz frequencies, high field superconducting magnets, scanning probe microscopy setups, and an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy system. Additional experiments will also be performed at other national user facilities, such as the Advanced Photon Source and the Linac Coherent Light Source. A successful candidate will be located at the LUMOS labs in Los Alamos but can expect frequent travel to user facilities and MIT.
Postdoctoral Research Associate: 3D in-situ Imaging Sciences
The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT) seeks candidates for a postdoctoral position in 3D in-situ imaging. Project work involves the application of light sheet microscopy and microfluidics towards imaging applications and microscopy to study biological processes in single algal cells. The work encompasses experimental studies in optics, genetic engineering by CRISPR Cas9, instrument design, component integration, and data analysis. The successful candidate will advance the fields of digital microscope imaging, molecular biology, and CRISPR Cas9 genetic engineering. A strong candidate will be familiar with biological sample preparation, optics, and digital image analysis.
