The Materials Science Division (MSD) of Argonne National Laboratory is seeking applicants for a postdoctoral appointee in experimental condensed matter physics. Although exceptional candidates in all areas of experimental condensed matter physics will be considered, particular emphasis will be placed on the dynamical studies of 2D materials and their functionalities.

This postdoctoral position is supported by a DOE-funded research program on ultrafast science involving Argonne National Laboratory, University of Washington, and MIT. The goal of this research program is to understand and harness the nonequilibrium correlation between structural, charge, and spin/pseudospin degrees of freedom in two-dimensional (2D) materials. The success of this program will lead to new means to control the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of 2D materials at ultrafast timescales, which holds promises for developing new energy technologies. The candidate is responsible for conceiving,...
