Job No: 502680
Work Type: Staff
Location: Newark, DE
Categories: Research & Laboratory, Full Time
The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow position in experimental magnonics and spintronics. The University of Delaware offers a vibrant research environment with state-of-the-art nanofabrication facilities and a strong interdisciplinary community spanning spintronics, photonics, quantum materials, and quantum science. Located in the mid-Atlantic region, the University provides convenient access to major metropolitan areas, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York City, and Washington, DC.
The successful candidate will conduct experimental research on artificial spin lattices using microwave spectroscopy and Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy, complemented by micromagnetic modeling of the experimental results. The fellowship will involve work related to the setup and operation of a wave-vector-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectrometer. The Postdoctoral Fellow is encouraged to pursue independent research directions aligned with the group's broader scientific goals.
The fellow may engage in mentoring graduate and undergraduate students, as well as engage in scientific activities of the research group.
Applicants must hold a PhD in physics, materials science, or a closely related field relevant to experimental condensed matter physics. Prior experience with Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy is required. Experience in microwave spectroscopy, thin-film deposition, and nanofabrication using optical and electron-beam lithography is highly desirable. The successful candidate should demonstrate the ability to develop independent research strategies while working effectively within a collaborative research team.
The appointment is for one year, with a preferred start date on or before March 1, 2026.
Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Prof. Benjamin Jungfleisch at mbj@udel.edu for more information.
