The Photoemission and Bright Beams Lab at ASU is a unique photocathode research lab with thin-film materials growth facilities and atomic scale surface diagnostics connected in UHV to various photoemission diagnostics (PhotoEmission Electron Microscope, sub-meV-scale energy-momentum distribution measurement capability) along with and a 200 kV DC electron gun with a cryogenically cooled cathode. The range of ongoing projects in the lab include understanding the fundamental physics of low energy photoemission, developing novel cathode materials and thin film growth techniques, developing nano-scale photoemission electron sources, developing keV beam diagnostic techniques testing ultra-bright cathodes in high field environments for electron microscopy diffraction and X-ray Free Electron Laser applications. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to one of more of these areas with a particular focus on the development of nanoscale photoemission sources.

Minimum Qualifications: • A Ph.D. or an equivalent degree in experimental physics, material science, or chemistry by the time of the appointment. • Evidence of effectively communicating research through conference presentations and/or journal papers.

Desired Qualifications: • Expertise in handling and design of ultra-high-vacuum systems. • Experience in materials growth, characterization and surface diagnostics. • Experience electron beam optics and beam diagnostics. • Experience in photoemission spectroscopy • Experience in nanofabrication and use of cleanroom techniques.
