High-Pressure Physics – Postdoctoral Researcher
We have an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the field of fundamental and applied research in experimental high-pressure science. The applicant should have a background in physics, materials science, or chemistry at extreme conditions with emphasis on static high pressure. Who will perform tabletop experiments at LLNL as well as experiments conducted at off-site light sources. The research will focus on understanding the physics of materials at ultra-high static pressure, using the latest diamond anvil cell (DAC) technologies as compression tool. The chosen candidate will be expected to contribute to development of advanced diagnostics and utilize x-ray capabilities at national synchrotron facilities (e.g. imaging, ultrasonic techniques, x-ray spectroscopy etc.) and participate in collaborations involving the US and international colleagues including HPCAT/APS/ANL, DCS/APS/ANL and ECB/Petra-III/DESY. Development of new approaches and techniques at 4th generation x-ray light sources (LCLS/SLAC and XFEL/DESY) is strongly encouraged. The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to work collaboratively with personnel across the Laboratory and in particular with scientists in the High-Pressure Physics Group. This position reports to the High-Pressure Physics Group Leader. More information can be provided in this link.
