Postdoctoral Research Associate Opening – Evans Research Group

The Evans research group is recruiting a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to lead research in ultrafast electronic and magnetic phenomena using national-facility-scale X-ray scattering resources such as free-electron lasers and synchrotron-radiation light sources. The project leverages cutting-edge X-ray science developments, including methods employing the time structure and coherence of modern light sources and provides the opportunity to work in a vibrant academic environment in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin. Recent examples of the group’s work include applications in ferroelectric and magnetic complex oxides (doi.org/10.1002/advs.202522387 and doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aba9351). Qualifications: Required: • PhD in materials science or a related field. • Strong interest in the subject matter and experience in disseminating scientific results in writing and presentations. Preferred: • Demonstrated ability to lead scientific research projects, to mentor students and other early career researchers, and to work in multidisciplinary collaborative teams. • Experience in electronic materials and X-ray scattering methods. • Direct experience in the use of national-facilities scale resources. To Apply: Please send Prof. Paul Evans (pgevans@wisc.edu) a brief cover letter or email, CV, and names and contact information for three references. Informal inquiries or questions welcome. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
