Postdoctoral Researcher in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials

The Liu Quantum Matter Lab at The University of Texas at Dallas invites applications for a postdoctoral research position focused on scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) of quantum materials. The successful candidate will lead experimental studies using ultra-low-temperature, high-magnetic-field STM/STS to investigate strongly correlated, topological, and low-dimensional quantum materials. Responsibilities include STM imaging and spectroscopy, sample and tip preparation, operation and troubleshooting of cryogenic and ultrahigh-vacuum instrumentation, data analysis, mentoring students, and preparing publications and presentations. Candidates should hold, or expect to hold before the appointment begins, a Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science, or a closely related field, with experience in low-temperature or ultrahigh-vacuum STM, cryogenic instrumentation, surface preparation, instrument development, or quantum materials being particularly desirable.
