POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR IN NANOSTRUCTURED THERMOELECTRICS

The Energy Research Group at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) is seeking postdoctoral candidates interested in pursuing research in thermoelectrics. The goal of this research is to develop and implement new methods to characterize nanostructured materials and thereby establish a detailed understanding of the mechanisms leading to improved thermoelectric efficiency.  Hands-on experience is required with ultra-high vacuum techniques and transport measurements, along with a solid foundation in condensed matter physics.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or related field, or equivalent. For information, please contact the project leader, Fred Sharifi (fred.sharifi@nist.gov).
