Postdoctoral Scholar in MOCVD of 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State seeks a Postdoctoral Scholar to work on metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and related materials. The role involves developing MOCVD growth, characterization, and doping processes for TMDs, with opportunities to collaborate on AI tools and workflows to accelerate thin-film materials research. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, or a related field, with preferred experience in electronic materials synthesis, characterization, or device fabrication. The position offers opportunities to engage with interdisciplinary teams and contribute to publications and conference presentations.
