Post Doctoral Associate

A Post Doctoral Associate position is available in the Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM) led by Dr. Hai-Ping Cheng in the Department of Physics at the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. This position is funded by the US Department of Energy; which focuses on the science of using molecule-based magnetic systems as the basis for the next generations of quantum technologies, with a program ranging from the synthesis and characterization of these emergent new materials to a systematic computational understanding of their many-body quantum behavior. Duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Experimental research involving the synthesis and characterization by various spectroscopic and physical techniques of molecular metal-oxo compounds of transition metal and/or lanthanide metals as required by the overall objectives of the M2QM Center. In addition, provide assistance to other members of the M2QM Center in the handling and mounting of such compounds for study. Also will assist in the preparation of manuscripts for publication.

The Department of Physics particularly welcomes applicants who can contribute to a diverse and inclusive environment through their scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and professional service. Please see https://diversity.clas.ufl.edu/diversity-statement/ for more information about diversity and inclusion in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The university and greater Gainesville communities enjoy a diversity of cultural events, restaurants, year-round outdoor recreational activities, and social opportunities.
