What is a nanotechnology research development scientist?

Nanotechnology Research Development Scientists are professionals who study, design, and develop materials and devices at the nanometer scale, often manipulating individual atoms and molecules. They conduct experiments, analyze data, and collaborate with engineers and other scientists to create new products or improve existing technologies using nanomaterials. Their work is critical in fields such as medicine, electronics, energy, and materials science, where advancements at the nano level can lead to significant innovations. These scientists often work in research institutions, universities, or private industry, staying at the forefront of technological breakthroughs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a nanotechnology research development scientist?

To thrive as a Nanotechnology Research Development Scientist, you need advanced knowledge in materials science, chemistry, or physics, typically supported by a PhD or relevant graduate degree. Proficiency with analytical tools such as electron microscopes, nanofabrication equipment, and simulation software is essential, along with familiarity with laboratory safety protocols. Strong problem-solving abilities, creativity, and effective collaboration and communication skills distinguish top performers in this role. These competencies are crucial for driving innovation, ensuring experimental accuracy, and translating research breakthroughs into practical nanotech applications.

What are some typical collaborations a nanotechnology research development scientist can expect within a multidisciplinary team?

Nanotechnology Research Development Scientists often work closely with experts from physics, chemistry, engineering, and biology to drive innovative projects. Collaboration is essential, as the development of new nanomaterials or devices may require input from material scientists for characterization, engineers for device integration, and biologists for biomedical applications. Effective communication and teamwork are vital, as projects frequently involve cross-functional meetings, shared lab resources, and joint publication or patent efforts.

Job description

The Nanoscience and Technology Division at Argonne National Laboratory invites applications for an Assistant Scientist (RD2) position in the Nanofabrication and Devices Group within the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM). CNM is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility that offers world-class expertise and state-of-the-art instrumentation to enable leading-edge research in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
We seek a highly motivated scientist to help advance CNM's research leadership in microelectronics, with particular emphasis on device physics, transport measurements, and nanofabrication. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the development of energy-efficient electronic systems through heterointegration for applications in RF electronics, power electronics, and optoelectronics.
The successful candidate will build and lead an innovative research program in microelectronics by leveraging CNM's unique strengths in materials synthesis, device fabrication, and characterization. This position offers the opportunity to pioneer new directions in heterointegration and electrical characterization while contributing to CNM's mission as a national user facility. The role also includes supporting a broad external user community by providing scientific and technical expertise for experiments and operations in CNM's cleanroom.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and lead a strong research program in microelectronics, with a focus on heterojunction device physics and transport measurements
  • Collaborate with scientists across CNM and Argonne to shape and execute a shared vision for microelectronics research
  • Manage, maintain, and support key cleanroom instrumentation, including electron beam lithography, plasma FIB, and related nanofabrication tools
  • Work closely with scientists and engineers from universities, national laboratories, and industry, including providing guidance and technical support to CNM users
  • Help ensure the reliable operation, and troubleshooting of cleanroom tools and electrical probe stations in partnership with CNM operations staff

Position Requirements
  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or a related field (postdoctoral research experience will be beneficial)
  • A strong background in semiconductor device physics
  • Significant hands-on experience fabricating devices based on materials such as 2D materials, ultrawide-bandgap materials, oxides, or III-V semiconductors
  • Demonstrated expertise in micro/nanofabrication and process development in cleanroom environments
  • Proficiency in device-level electrical measurements and characterization techniques
  • Experience in device modeling using COMSOL or TCAD would be beneficial
  • Ability to model Argonne's core values of impact, safety, respect, integrity, and teamwork

The successful candidate will be expected to make full use of CNM's advanced capabilities and scientific expertise to develop impactful research and support the broader user community.
Application Requirements
  • Cover letter
  • Detailed curriculum vitae, including a list of publications
  • A statement on proposed research (2-page max) and 1-page statement regarding an approach to engage and grow the scientific user program
  • Names and contact information for three professional references
