What Your Job Will Be Like: We are seeking a Postdoctoral Appointee to join our microelectronics team at the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies. This role is dedicated to the development and implementation of multi-modal materials characterization platforms for microelectronics. You will be responsible for circuit design, simulation, layout, and tapeout to support system development. This work requires being located (or relocating) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to participate in our vibrant, interdisciplinary research community at Sandia National Laboratories and CINT (https://cint.lanl.gov/). As Postdoctoral appointee you will pursue research in semiconductor materials, devices, and circuits. The research will involve integrated circuit layout and tapeout, device fabrication, materials characterization, and electrical measurements for device integration. On any given day, you may be called upon to: Design integrated circuits and oversee device fabrication. Design and execute experiments aimed at understanding materials challenges for integrating functionalities with CMOS. Collaborate with a diverse team, including experimentalists and theorists, with experience in semiconductor physics and devices. Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite. Relocation will be provided for those that qualify. Qualifications We Require: PhD, conferred within 5 years prior to employment in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or related discipline Experience with at least one of the following: Integrated circuit layout and tapeout Device fabrication Electrical characterization of solid-state materials and devices Embedded systems, microcontrollers, and FPGAs Instrumentation and data analysis using one of the following languages: Python Matlab C+ + A strong record of technical achievement, as evidenced by first-author publications in scientific journals. (A publication list should be included as part of the resume.) Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q clearance Qualifications We Desire: Experience with cryogenic systems below 10 Kelvin. Experience with materials characterization using a selection of the following techniques: x-rays, electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, Raman microscopy, photoluminescence, and photocurrent. Cleanroom experience About Our Team: The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies is a Department of Energy-funded nanoscience research facility that provides users from around the world with access to state of the art expertise and instrumentation in a collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with a focus on nanoscience integration. The Quantum Materials Systems (QMS) thrust at CINT has a focus on understanding and controlling quantum effects of nanoscale materials and their integration into systems spanning multiple length scales. The QMS thrust has world-leading capabilities in synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and modeling of quantum materials, devices, and computing systems. Our synthesis capabilities range from novel 2-D materials to ultrahigh mobility quantum well structures. We also have design and fabrication capabilities for integrating superconducting Josephson-junction devices and superconducting resonator circuits into various semiconductor platforms. CINT has a state-of-the-art cleanroom facility that permits micro- and nanoscale fabrication of quantum devices and systems, and we have a variety of characterization equipment that allows temperature-dependent measurements down to dilution refrigerator temperatures with both high- and low-frequency electrical characterization. These efforts are supported by extensive modeling capabilities that exist at both CINT and the host lab. Posting Duration: This posting will be open for application submissions for a minimum of three (3) calendar days, including the 'posting date'. Sandia res
