About the Position:
CHESS is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research candidate with a strong background in both materials physics and computation to join our Quantum Materials team. We seek candidates who are interested in developing cutting-edge tools for analysis of comprehensive single crystal / thin film scattering measurements, exploiting developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning. We also invite candidates with interests in beamline automation and autonomy.
The postdoctoral associate will be expected to work both collaboratively and independently on research projects, advancing computational methods using machine learning, developing automated pipelines for data analysis, adding new features or fixing bugs in existing software, and exploiting these tools to tackle frontier problems in materials physics.
Additionally, the postdoctoral associate will benefit from the unique infrastructure for quantum materials research at CHESS, including the QM2 beamline, and close collaboration with other on-campus resources, such as the AI Materials Institute and Cornell Center for Advanced Computing.
About the QM2 Beamline
The QM2 (Quantum Mapping for Quantum Materials) beamline specializes in high-throughput characterization of quantum materials. It is optimized to uncover intertwined quantum correlations of spins, charges, and orbitals over a wide temperature range and spanning entire phase diagrams. Available techniques include:
- Resonant Elastic X-ray Scattering (REXS)
- High Dynamic Range Reciprocal Space Mapping (HDRM)
- Low-Temperature Crystallography
- Diffuse Scattering and 3D-PDF
- Non-Resonant Magnetic Scattering
- Coherent Bragg Rod Analysis (CoBRA)
