What is the difference between Full Time Microfabrication vs Microfabrication Technician?

AspectFull Time MicrofabricationMicrofabrication Technician
CredentialsAssociate's or Bachelor's in Microengineering, Materials Science, or related fieldsSimilar educational background, often with additional certifications in cleanroom procedures
Work EnvironmentCleanroom facilities, laboratories, manufacturing floorsCleanroom environments, equipment operation, maintenance tasks
Industry UsageResearch, development, manufacturing of microdevicesFabrication, testing, and troubleshooting microfabricated components

Full Time Microfabrication roles typically involve working in cleanroom environments on the development and production of microdevices, requiring relevant technical credentials. Microfabrication Technicians focus on operating and maintaining fabrication equipment, often with similar educational backgrounds. Both roles are essential in microtechnology industries, but Full Time Microfabrication positions may include more design and process development responsibilities.

Job description

Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in experimental physics, with a focus on advancing superconducting particle detector technology for next-generation nuclear science experiments at Jefferson Lab and the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
As part of our growing multidisciplinary team, you will contribute to the development of superconducting nanowire detectors while also having flexibility to pursue your own research interests.
Research Focus

  • Participate in a detector R&D program aimed at developing superconducting nanowire sensors to enable transformative experiments at Jefferson Lab and the EIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory

  • Collaborate with a diverse team of physicists and engineers working at the intersection of nuclear physics, materials science, microfabrication, and superconducting technologies


About the Team
You will join the Superconducting Nanowire Detector R&D group within Argonne's Medium Energy Physics team. The group includes nine staff scientists, engineers, postdocs, and students, with an active research portfolio that spans:

  • Leading electron-scattering experiments at Jefferson Lab (CLAS12, SoLID, Hall A, B, and C)

  • Major contributions to experiments at Fermilab (SeaQuest, SpinQuest) and PSI (MUSE)

  • Detector hardware leadership, including the ALERT time-of-flight detector, the ePIC Barrel Imaging Calorimeter, and the SoLID detector at Jefferson Lab

  • Innovation in detector technologies such as 3D-printed pixelized MCP-PMTs and superconducting nanowire single-particle detectors

Position Requirements

  • Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD (within the last 0-5 years) in the field of electrical engineering, experimental physics, materials science, and mechanical engineering, or related discipline

  • Experience in electron beam lithography and/or micro fabrication of superconducting sensors

  • Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork

Preferred

  • Microfabrication of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs)

  • Superconducting electronics and sensors

  • Device/Detector simulations


Application Instructions

  • Cover Letter

  • Curriculum Vitae (CV)

  • Statement of Research Interests


Additionally, arrange for three recommendation letters to be sent directly to Kaitlin Monis at PHYHR@anl.gov, and confirm that your referees have submitted their letters.
