The Yang Laboratory at the Department of Chemistry is looking for a motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Fellow to join the team. The research aims to study laser-induced electronic and structural dynamics of photoresponsive materials, molecular thin films, and interfacial systems. The experimental equipment is composed of an ultrafast laser system, optical instruments, an electron gun system, an amplified imaging assembly, an ultrahigh vacuum chamber assembly, and a number of surface science tools. The successful candidate will contribute to further advancement of the experimental setup and utilize electron- and light-based advanced methods to conduct materials and surface science research.
Duration: 12 months, renewable upon mutual agreement
Qualifications/Requirements:
1. Ph.D. in fields related to physical chemistry, physics, or a closely related discipline
2. Strong hands-on experience with laser or electron optics and time-resolved ultrafast pump-probe measurements
3. Knowledge of modern physical chemistry instruments
4. (Preferred) Experience in design and implementation of instrumentation and/or measurement automation
MQ: Requires singular knowledge of a specialized advanced professional discipline or the highest level of general business knowledge, normally acquired through attainment of a directly job-related terminal degree or equivalent formal training in a recognized field of specialization that is directly related to the type of work being performed.
