Research Scientist III

Responsibilities

The position involves designing, building and automating an established workflow for the experimental screening of organic materials. Built on current in-house processes, this will streamline data acquisition required for the development of novel optoelectronic materials.

Develop next-generation optoelectronic materials with an emphasis on advanced design, fabrication, and analysis, to prove new concepts and understand the potential impact of those concepts.

Collaborate with the larger Meta Reality Labs Research team to holistically understand current goals, limitations, and bottlenecks in the wider AR/VR space.

Build with and develop an intimate understanding of equipment designed for high-throughput experiments.

Design and automate novel crystal growth, processing, and analysis techniques, with a focus on highly specific components and devices.

Communicate results internally and with external partners.

Assist in the translation of research results to practical application in Meta product development.

• BS in related field (Experimental Psychology, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, HCI, Human Factors engineering, Neuroscience, etc.)
• Experience programming hardware interfaces (e.g., serial/I2C/SPI communication, DAQ systems, motion control) using Python, LabVIEW, C, or similar languages.
• 2+ years experience in at least one of the following areas: chemistry, materials, organic materials, crystallization, nucleation, solid state analysis, optoelectronic materials.
• 2+ years experience, experimental laboratory work (i.e., demonstrated ability to take concepts, adapt them and translate them to the bench-top).
• Experience with frequent report writing.
• Previous experience with CAD software.

• Advanced degree (MA, doctoral student)
• Working with organic crystals and solubility of compounds
