Team Lead

osition: CW Research Scientist PhD Degree Location: Ann Arbor, MI Client Billing Rate : XXXXk Key Responsibilities: • Synthesize pristine materials, engineer spin-defects and characterize a class of quantum materials with Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR), photoluminescence (PL), cathodoluminescence (CL), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and other techniques. • Work closely with a team of scientists to fabricate various types of quantum sensing devices. • Frequently communicate with materials scientist within the organization. • Effectively respond to the challenges emerging in materials research. • Regularly report and present to the research team and managements. Minimum Requirements: • PhD degree in the Physical Sciences (Physics/Chemistry), Material Science or related field or equivalent practical experience with an MS degree. • Strong background in quantum physics, and/or condensed matter physics and/or quantum optics. • Experience in synthesizing and defect engineering of low-dimensional materials, and characterizing defect-specific emission signatures by various techniques. • Strong verbal and written communication skills. • Self-motivated, intelligent individual with initiative and drive for overcoming technical challenges. Preferred Requirements: • Basic knowledge of density function theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to analyze spin-defect formation and understanding of carrier dynamics is a plus. • Record of publication in the areas of quantum materials as 1st author.
