Materials Characterization Research Scientist 965-383
Core4ce is seeking highly skilled applicants for a Research Scientist position to join our team working at the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH. The responsibilities of this position will be focused on the characterization of magnetic, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of solid-state materials for applications in RF technologies. Experience with the use and analysis of characterization techniques such as magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), vibrating sample magnetometry, magneto-transport, second harmonic generation, piezoforce microscopy, or similar is desired. Additionally, candidates should have an interest in exploring and understanding how crystal properties influence these behaviors and how they can be enhanced or modified. Towards this, prior experience with crystal growth or characterization of crystal properties (e.g. XRD) or a willingness to learn may be beneficial. This work will include collaboration with multiple scientists of different backgrounds to impact cutting edge DoD technology development. As such, exceptional teamwork and communication skills are required for this position.
Responsibilities:
Conduct Material Characterization: Lead efforts in characterizing the magnetic, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of solid-state materials for RF technology applications.
Utilize Advanced Characterization Techniques: Employ techniques such as Magneto-Optic Kerr Effect (MOKE), Vibrating Sample Magnetometry, Magneto-Transport, Second Harmonic Generation, and Piezoforce Microscopy to analyze material properties.
Analyze and Interpret Data: Use data acquisition and analysis software to interpret experimental results, identify patterns, and develop insights into material behaviors.
Explore Material Enhancements: Investigate how crystal properties influence material behaviors and explore methods to enhance or modify these properties for improved performance.
Collaborate with Multidisciplinary Teams: Work with scientists from various disciplines to support cutting-edge Department of Defense (DoD) technology development, ensuring alignment with project goals.
Develop and Maintain Characterization Tools: Develop, maintain, and replicate characterization tools to ensure reliability and accuracy in experimental work.
Problem Solving and Innovation: Tackle complex research challenges with innovative solutions and contribute to the advancement of scientific knowledge in the field.
Documentation and Reporting: Prepare detailed reports and presentations to communicate research findings effectively to both internal teams and external stakeholders.
Requirements:
Minimum MS in electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science, or related fields.
Experience in ferroelectric/piezoelectric and ferromagnetic characterization
Proficiency in developing, maintaining, and replicating characterization tools
Experience with magnetic characterization processes
Strong problem solving and data analysis skills
Proficiency in data acquisition and analysis software
Ability to synthesize and present results and data
Interest in scientific R&D
Ability to work independently and as a part of a team
Ability to adapt to changes in research priority and balance tasks
This position is working within a government facility and requires U.S. Citizenship
