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:

• PhD in physics, materials science, physical chemistry or related field

• Sufficient understanding of the physics of quantum materials

• Experience in x-ray scattering or related techniques

• Demonstrated proficiency in programming language, such as Python

• Excellent written and oral communication skills including writing academic papers

• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Experience in synchrotron-based experiments

• Experience in coherent x-rays or/and resonant x-ray scattering

• Experience in strongly correlated oxides

• Understanding of light-matter interactions in condensed matter systems
