Post Doctoral Scholar

Post Doctoral Scholar

The von Hoegen and Lau Research Groups invites applications for a Post Doctoral Scholar position that will be based at the The Physics Research Building at The Ohio State University. The groups are involved in several projects concerning ultrafast spectroscopy of quantum materials, including THz microscopy, as well as research on 2D materials and their heterostructures. The Post Doctoral Scholar will take a leading role in the operation of a novel THz microscope for the investigation of two-dimensional quantum materials and devices as well as low-temperature cryogenic measurements of their electronic characteristics.

This is a term position for 1 year and is renewable based on performance and availability of funds.
