Neutron mailing list:

The research group of Prof. Chris Leighton at the University of Minnesota,
US, has two open postdoctoral positions in experimental materials
science/materials physics.

The first position, in the DOE-funded University of Minnesota Center for
Quantum Materials (https://cqm.umn.edu/), will focus on quantum materials,
primarily studied with neutron scattering, electronic transport, and
magnetometry. The materials systems of interest are metallic delafossites
and other transition metal oxides and sulfides. Experience with neutron
scattering, crystal growth, and electronic transport measurements is
preferred.

The second position will focus on spintronics and magnetic
heterostructures. The materials/device systems of interest are metallic
non-local spin valves (including their potential as spin accumulation
sensors) and artificial spin ice structures. Experience with UHV thin film
deposition, spin transport, and thin-film magnetism is preferred.

Both positions are collaborative and require a Ph.D. in materials science,
condensed matter physics, or a related field. The Leighton Group is in the
department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University
of Minnesota (https://cse.umn.edu/cems). More can be learned about the
group at https://cse.umn.edu/cems/chris-leighton and
https://leighton.cems.umn.edu/.

Interested candidates should contact Chris Leighton at leighton at umn.edu,
attaching a CV and the names of three references.

Appointments can be considered as early as September 1, 2025. Appointments
will be for one year, extendable based on availability of funds and
performance; two or three years is considered optimal.
