Job Title:Post Doctoral ScholarDepartment:Engineering | Materials Science and Engineering

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering in the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University invites applications for an experimental Postdoctoral Scholar position in the emerging field of Polarization Caloritronics.

The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary research team led by Professor Wolfgang Windl and supported by a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship focused on polarization caloritronics, the study of coupled heat and polarization transport in ferroelectric materials. Besides supporting the existing experimental effort, the postdoc will lead the development and experimental validation of transformative device concepts such as thermal transistors, thermoelectric energy conversion, or THz-capable phonon logic. Responsibilities include conducting high-precision electrical, thermal, and transport measurements on ferroelectric and multiferroic materials; designing, fabricating, and characterizing advanced devices for thermal management, logic, memory, thermoelectric, and THz applications; publishing research findings in leading scientific journals; and contributing to the development of advanced experimental capabilities within the research group.

The experimental work is supported by first-principles based transport modeling, and the broader collaborative network includes materials synthesis experts at Ohio State University, as well as collaborators at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) supporting characterization through piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS).

Required Education

Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.

Desired Education

Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field.

Required Experience
  • Demonstrated excellence in research, evidenced by a strong publication record and academic achievements.
  • Strong experimental skills, including experience with transport measurements in ferroelectric, multiferroic, or related functional materials and hands-on experience in cleanroom processing and advanced device fabrication.
  • This is an experimental position, theoretical applications will not be considered.
