Automotive Research Scientist - Phd

Description:

***THIS IS A SIX MONTH (6MO) ASSIGNMENT***

Key Responsibilities:

• Regularly report and present to the research team and managements.
• Synthesize pristine materials, engineer spin-defects and characterize a class of quantum materials with Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR), photoluminescence (PL), cathodoluminescence (CL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and other techniques.
• Effectively respond to the challenges emerging in materials research.
• Frequently communicate with materials scientist within the organization.
• Work closely with a team of scientists to fabricate various types of quantum sensing devices.

Requirements:

**THIS POSITION WILL BE WORKING 100% ONSITE. YOU MUST RESIDE WITHIN 100 MILES OF THE SITE**

Minimum Requirements:

• Strong background in quantum physics, and/or condensed matter physics and/or quantum optics.
• PhD degree in the Physical Sciences (Physics/Chemistry), Material Science or related field or equivalent practical experience with an MS degree.
• Experience in synthesizing and defect engineering of low-dimensional materials, and characterizing defect-specific emission signatures by various techniques.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Self-motivated, intelligent individual with initiative and drive for overcoming technical challenges.

Preferred Requirements:

• Record of publication in the areas of quantum materials as 1st author.
• Basic knowledge of density function theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to analyze spin-defect formation and understanding of carrier dynamics is a plus.
