Job Description

Overview


Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is seeking a highly motivated Research Associate Physicist (Postdoctoral Researcher) to advance quantum technologies based on diamond color centers and microelectronics. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of materials science, quantum physics, and device engineering, focusing on the growth of single-crystal diamond, defect engineering (e.g., NV centers), plasma physics, and their characterization. This role involves hands-on experimental research, including CVD growth, molecular beam growth, nanofabrication, optical, electrical, and material characterization techniques, and plasma diagnostics techniques. The position offers the opportunity to collaborate within a highly interdisciplinary environment and contribute to cutting-edge research in quantum materials, sensing and microelectronics.
