The Ahn Lab is a research group affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics at Yale University and the Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena (CRISP), a National Science Foundation Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (NSF-MRSEC). The lab investigates the electronic and magnetic properties of strongly correlated oxide materials.

Research Scientist Opportunity

The research group has an opening for an experienced research scientist working in the field of multifunctional oxide materials. The group aims to develop and discover novel epitaxial complex oxide materials using advanced growth and characterization techniques, including molecular beam epitaxy, off-axis sputtering, low temperature transport measurements, scanning probe microscopy, and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques.

Criteria for the position include:

1. >10 years experience in the field of multifunctional oxide materials.

2. Expertise in a physics-based approach to the study of materials.

3. Expertise in materials growth and characterization (e.g., molecular beam epitaxy and synchrotron diffraction).

4. Experience writing grant proposals.

5. Excellent communication skills.

The successful candidate will serve as a mentor to graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, provide scientific leadership within a group, and lead an independent research program. Applications containing a C.V., a cover letter describing research interests and goals, a list of publications, and names and contact information for three letters of recommendation (to be sent upon request) should be emailed to ayse.kose{at}yale.edu. Yale University is an Equal Opportunity employer, and applications from underrepresented groups are encouraged.

Postdoctoral Associate Opportunity

The research group has an opening for a postdoctoral associate working in the field of multifunctional oxide materials. The group aims to study the physical properties of novel epitaxial complex oxide materials using advanced growth and characterization techniques, including molecular beam epitaxy, low temperature transport measurements, scanning probe microscopy, and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques.

Criteria for the position include:

1. Expertise in a physics-based approach to the study of materials.

2. Expertise in materials growth and characterization (e.g., molecular beam epitaxy and synchrotron diffraction).

The ability to lead and execute independent research is a requirement for the position, and first-author publications in print are a prerequisite for consideration. Applications containing a C.V., a cover letter describing research interests and goals, a list of publications, and names and contact information for three letters of recommendation (to be sent upon request) should be emailed to ayse.kose{at}yale.edu. Yale University is an Equal Opportunity employer, and applications from underrepresented groups are encouraged.
