Postdoctoral Research Associate
Brown University
The momentum resolved spectroscopy group led by Professor Kemp Plumb in the Department of Physics at Brown University is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to perform investigations of quantum magnetic materials using resonant x-ray scattering. The project involves carrying out bulk crystal growth and characterization of novel frustrated quantum magnets, performing resonant x-ray scattering experiments on those materials, and the development of new coherent resonant scattering techniques. Collaboration with the x-ray scattering group at Brookhaven National Lab will be an important part of this effort. Previous experience with x-ray or neutron scattering, materials synthesis, crystal growth is an advantage, but not a necessity.
