Post Doctoral Fellow

Department: TX Ctr Superconductivity at UH Salary: 49,400-56,200

Description:

Possesses, understands, and applies a comprehensive knowledge in area of specialization. Develops understanding and skills to allow for completion of assignments that cross fields of specialization. Develops leadership and management skills.
1. Receives/Reviews progress and evaluates results of experiments or projects under control or supervisory responsibility.
2. Recommends changes in research, testing or experimental procedures.
3. May be responsible for a single highly technical and complex piece of research equipment.
4. May review and evaluate the effectiveness of personnel.
5. May plan for and assign personnel to projects under control.
6. Operates with latitude for unreviewed action.
7. May receive general supervision conferring with higher levels only in unusual situations.
8. Performs other job-related duties as required.
Additional Information: 
An experimental condensed matter physics research group seeks candidates who are interested in condensed matter physics, materials science, chemistry, and other related fields to fill their multiple full-time research positions at level of postdoctoral research fellow. The research interests include superconductivity, topological physics, fundamental condensed matter physics at extreme conditions, high static pressure technology, and development of novel diagnostic techniques for in-situ studies at extreme conditions. Fellows will be involved in sample synthesis and characterization, measurements of physical and chemical properties by using lab instruments and user facilities. Previous experience in sample synthesis and/or high-pressure studies would be considered a strong advantage but is not required. The successful candidate is expected to be able to work independently in pursuit of his/her own, clear scientific agenda.
MQ: Requires singular knowledge of a specialized advanced professional discipline or the highest level of general business knowledge, normally acquired through attainment of a directly job-related terminal degree or equivalent formal training in a recognized field of specialization that is directly related to the type of work being performed. No experience is required.
