Job DescriptionThe Center for Molecular Magnetic Quantum Materials (M2QM) at the Department of Chemistry, University of Florida is seeking a Post Doctoral Associate under the supervision of Professor George Christou. See M2QM is an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the US Department of Energy
The Center programs range from the synthesis and characterization of emergent new materials to a systematic computational understanding of their many-body quantum behavior. The fundamental science of the M2QM aims to address the two primary technological challenges:
1) how to create qubits for intrinsically quantum computing, and
2) how to replace elements of traditional computers and sensors with intrinsically quantum, molecule-based devices that are energy efficient as well as fast and adaptive. In this setting, reliable, swift, all-electron calculations of magnetically complex materials are crucial.
The successful candidate will work on the synthesis of ultra-small (1-3 nm) metal oxide nanoparticles as molecular clusters, their characterization by various spectroscopic and physical techniques including single-crystal X-ray crystallography, and their use as supports for one or more magnetic ions and molecules to study the quantum properties on a model surface, including coherence times, quantum clock transitions, and exchange couplings.
Experience in synthetic inorganic chemistry and high nuclearity coordination clusters is essential.
The salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience, and the compensation includes a full benefits package. To see more, visit, benefits.hr.ufl.edu.

Final date to receive applications & ScreeningApplications will be reviewed beginning 7/22/26, and the position will remain open until filled.
All candidates for employment are subject to a pre-employment screening which includes a review of criminal records, reference checks, and verification of education.
The selected candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to the hiring department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered "official" if a designation of "Issued to Student" is visible. Degrees earned from an educational institution outside of the United States require evaluation by a professional credentialing service provider approved by the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), which can be found at http://(Use the "Apply for this Job" box below)..
