Key Skills for This Role
COMSOLscattering scanning near-field optical microscopy
Full Job Posting
- Support research in nanophotonics, quantum optics, metamaterials, and/or nonlinear optics
- Design, fabricate, and/or characterize novel optical devices, materials, and systems
- Develop original research ideas for the study of nanoscale phenomenon
- Report research results in top-tier journals and conferences
- Generate new intellectual property through patent filing
- Possess a PhD in experimental physics, electrical engineering, optical engineering or science, or a related field, and have a bachelor's degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). Ph.D. must have been awarded within the last 5 years or be soon to be completed.
- Experience with developing mid-IR spectroscopic characterization of surfaces and spectroscopic monitoring of chemical reactions.
- A well-developed understanding of the physics of strong material coupling to either cavity polaritons or localized surface resonances.
- Experience developing original research plans, a proven track record of invention, original publications in professional journals, and conference papers and presentations
- Experience with micro and nano fabrication processes, tools, and metrology necessary for the development and realization of dielectric and/or plasmonic metasurfaces
- A background in optical and scanning probe microscopy techniques
- Experience utilizing spectroscopy tools for characterizing the progress of chemical reactions.
- A background in optically coupled atomic force microscopy techniques, i.e., scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy.
- Experience simulating the optical response of metasurfaces using finite element modeling techniques ( COMSOL).
- Familiarity with laboratory optical bench optics, electronics, optoelectronics, and safe use of lasers, able to design and carry out laser-based optical experiments
- A results-oriented disposition with strong interpersonal skills to work independently and in a collaborative group environment
- The appointment is for 2 years, with a possible extension for the 3rd year
- Please contact the project manager to express your interest in this position: Andrew C. Jones (acj@lanl.gov)
