Postdoc positions open in Prof. Edoardo Baldini’s group (baldinilab.org) at UT Austin

We are looking for highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join Prof. Edoardo Baldini’s team at UT Austin. The researchers will work on the implementation of a time-resolved momentum microscope to visualize the ground- and excited-state electronic structure of atomically thin quantum materials. The momentum microscope at UT Austin (SPECS GmbH, KREIOS-150 MM) is a next-generation photoemission microscope that can perform real- and momentum-space imaging with high energy resolution. With this instrument, we aim to uncover new quantum states in the two-dimensional limit and achieve their Floquet engineering. The project will take place in a state-of-the-art laser laboratory that features a clean-room-like environment, high vibrational stability (VC-F), and high temperature/humidity control (± 0.3°C / ± 5%). The researchers will have the opportunity to collaborate with a highly trained team and engage in secondary projects such as nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy, second harmonic generation microscopy, and magneto-optical microscopy.

Education:

Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, materials science, or related areas. We are currently seeking highly talented researchers with a strong experimental background in one or more of the following areas:
  • ultrahigh vacuum technology
  • photoemission science (e.g., laser-ARPES, synchrotron-ARPES, PEEM)
  • ultrafast laser spectroscopy

 

Previous experience in quantum materials is not required but is considered a plus.

 

Applications:

Please direct all inquiries to Prof. Edoardo Baldini (edoardo.baldini@austin.utexas.edu). Please include a CV and specify the name of 3 references.
