In addition to accruing vacation and sick time, we also have a Winter Holiday Shutdown every year.

Parental bonding leave (for both mothers and fathers)

Pet insurance

You will:

Contribute to innovative research in ultrafast laser-material interactions, focusing on 3D additive manufacturing and surface fabrication

Design and fabricate advanced optical components, including optically/electrically tunable 3D optics

Conduct fundamental studies to unveil the mechanisms of laser-matter interactions in novel materials

Manage work plans for multiple research tasks, lead high-throughput data collection and analysis, and implement iterative improvements to system performance.

Develop creative resolutions to complex technical challenges involving multi-material integration.

Apply computational analysis and multiphysics simulations to design photonic structures and interpret experimental results.

Collaborate with internal scientists, research associates, and postdoctoral fellows to advance the group's technical capabilities.

Contribute to or co-author the writing of technical proposals and manuscripts, and represent the Laboratory at scientific meetings and program reviews.

Actively works to build a network of contacts and collaborators within their field of research and at funding agencies

Prepare funding proposals

Report research progress to funders

Present findings at seminars and/or conferences

Experience in development of THz time domain spectroscopy systems

Strong background in the fundamental non-linear physics and multi-photon processes underpinning ultrafast laser-matter interactions

Experience in optics, experimental system design, and the construction of advanced optical setups

Proficiency with advanced femtosecond 3D manufacturing processes and tubable optics fabrication

Knowledge of hyperspectral imaging and detector requirements

Proficiency with advanced material characterization techniques (morphological, composition, phase)

Optics simulation knowledge, including electromagnetic simulation software and classical optics.

Excellent communication skills, including writing and presenting.

Excellent time management and organizational skills

Ability to work effectively in a team environment as well as independently.

Ability to publish research and present results in conferences, program reviews and DOE independent assessments

Desired skills/knowledge:
