Postdoctoral Associate

A postdoctoral position is available in the Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M²QM) at the University of Florida and Florida State University. The position will be jointly supervised by Prof. Stephen Hill and Prof. Richard Hennig. The project involves fundamental spectroscopic investigations of molecular quantum materials in the Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR) group at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab, employing state-of-the-art instrumentation available at the MagLab for both continuous-wave and pulsed EPR at high magnetic fields. Additional stimuli, such as light irradiation and electric fields, will also be available to further modulate the quantum properties of the molecules under study. Areas of interest within M²QM that are under active investigation at the MagLab include understanding decoherence processes and the development of strategies for enhancing coherence in molecular spin qubits; demonstration of multi-qubit entanglement and quantum logic operations in magnetic molecules; and exploitation of magnetoelectric coupling and optical activity for realization of electrically and optically switchable spin qubits.

$50,000 -$55,000; contingent upon experience.

The successful applicant should have a PhD in either physics, physical chemistry, or a closely related discipline.

The successful applicant should have a PhD in either physics, physical chemistry, or a closely related discipline. Some experience in the use of EPR spectroscopy is preferred. Strong consideration will also be given to applicants who have experience with other spectroscopic or magnetic characterization methods, particularly as applied to molecular materials.

Questions regarding the position should be directed to Prof. Stephen Hill and Prof. Richard Hennig. To apply, please send a CV, a cover letter describing your experience and research interests, and the contact information for three references, preferably by email to shill@magnet.fsu.edu and rhennig@ufl.edu.  Please include the words “M2QM Postdoc Position” in the subject line.

Application must be submitted by 11:55 p.m. (ET) of the posting end date.
