Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Massachusetts Institute of Technology Full time
POSTDOCTORAL ASSOCIATE, SPINTRONICS

The Program in Media Arts and Sciences - Nano-Cybernetic Biotrek at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology seeks a highly motivated individual to join Professor Deblina Sarkar's research team. The successful candidate will contribute expertise in magnetic materials and spintronic devices.

Key Responsibilities:
1. Fabricate spin-orbit torque devices utilizing advanced cleanroom facilities.
2. Establish and conduct experiments to investigate current-induced deterministic and probabilistic switching phenomena in ferromagnetic materials.
3. Characterize the efficiencies of spin-orbit torque for various material combinations.
4. Prepare and submit research grant proposals.

Qualifications:
REQUIRED:
Ph.D. in material science, electrical/electronic engineering, physics, or a closely related discipline. A solid background in magnetism, spin transport, and spintronic devices is essential. Candidates should have experience in the fabrication and characterization of spin-orbit torque switching devices, along with a proven ability to independently design and construct measurement setups.

PREFERRED:
Experience with magneto-optical measurements and the fabrication and characterization of spin-valves. Familiarity with multiferroic, ferroelectric, and/or piezoelectric material systems is advantageous. Proficiency in using magnetic cryostats, as well as experience with DFT, Monte Carlo, and micromagnetic or spin transport simulations, is desirable. Additionally, experience in instrument automation using LabVIEW, MATLAB, and/or Python, along with a background in solid-state physics and electronic devices, will be beneficial.

This position is a one-year appointment with the potential for extension based on the progress of the research.
