Materials Synthesis Scientist - Automated Synthesis of Layered Materials
Brookhaven National Laboratory
Why Work at BNL? Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. Located on the center of Long Island, New York, Brookhaven Lab brings premier facilities and expertise to the most exciting and meaningful questions in basic and applied science--from the birth of our universe to the sustainable energy technology of tomorrow. We operate state-of-the-art large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. Brookhaven Lab employs nearly 3,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff, and engages more than 4,000 visiting researchers from around the world each year. Our award-winning history, including seven Nobel Prizes, stretches back to 1947, and we continue to unravel mysteries from the nanoscale to the cosmic scale. Brookhaven Science Associates, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization, operates Brookhaven Lab for the U.S Department of Energy. Organizational Overview The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven is a DOE-funded national scientific user facility, offering users a supported research experience with top-caliber scientists and access to state-of-the-art instrumentation. The CFN mission is advancing nanoscience through frontier fundamental research and technique development and is the nexus of a broad collaboration network. Each year, CFN staff members support the research of nearly 600 external facility users. Position Description The CFN is seeking an exceptional Scientific Associate to work on a collaborative project to develop methods, instrumentation, and control software for a unique autonomous experimental platform. The CFN is building an advanced tool which will exploit motion control, robotics, and machine-learning to synthesize nanomaterials formed by stacking two-dimensional layers. These heterostructures have exciting applications in quantum information science. You do not need a background in quantum nanomaterials to be successful in this project. Rather, we seek an energetic scientist interested in applying their skills in instrumentation and/or software development to a collaborative, cutting-edge project. Your research will develop hardware systems (motion systems, robotics, sensing) and software control to automate the handling of ultrathin nanomaterials. You will collaborate with materials science colleagues to understand their synthesis methods, and develop hardware systems to automate these materials synthesis tasks by combining vendor-supplied tools with custom-designed hardware. You will leverage this one-of-a-kind platform to study two-dimensional materials and to research new heterostructure synthesis methods. You will collaborate extensively with a team of colleagues who are expert in materials synthesis, instrument design, systems engineering, and machine-learning.
