A postdoctoral position is available in Prof. Andy Kent’s research group in the Center for Quantum Phenomena of the Department of Physics. The research involves the study of spin-torque oscillators based on quantum materials. The aim is to explore oscillators based on transition metal oxides with competing electronic phases (e.g., metal/insulating, magnetic/non-magnetic, etc.) with applications to neuromorphic computing. The successful candidate will characterize spin oscillators using high-speed/frequency electrical test stands and fabricate appropriate samples using electron beam lithography. Experience with electronic transport, magnetic measurements, magnetic materials, microwave techniques, and nanofabrication is desirable. The candidate will work with a multidisciplinary team of experts from multiple universities, specializing in quantum materials and magnetic modeling. Good communication and interpersonal skills are essential.

In compliance with NYC’s Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $62,500.00- $64,000.00.  New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the specific grant funding and the terms of the research grant when extending an offer.

Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics, or Electrical Engineering, within 0-5 years of post-PhD training.
