Postdoctoral Associate; Pine

A postdoctoral position is available in Professor David Pine’s research group in the Center for Soft Matter Research in the Department of Physics at New York University. The project focuses on the fabrication and optical characterization of photonic crystals formed by the self-assembly of colloidal particles into diamond and other unconventional symmetries.

The successful candidate will develop and implement new strategies for colloidal self-assembly, including colloidal epitaxy and microfluidic-based methods
. They will also implement advanced optical characterization techniques, such as coherent back scattering
, frequency autocorrelation
, and photonic band-structure measurements
.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. The Pine group offers a dynamic and highly collaborative research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities for optical characterization, imaging, and scattering
.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500.00-$65,000.00. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.
