Center for Materials for Information Technology
Post-Doctoral Research
The Center for Materials for Information Technology at the University of Alabama has been designated by the National Science Foundation as one of twenty-seven Materials Research Science and Engineering Centers in the U.S. As a result of this and other funding, the Center is seeking qualified post-doctoral fellows to participate in a multi-disciplinary research program focusing on magnetic thin film and particulate materials, spin electronics, and molecular-based information storage. Thirty faculty from seven academic programs including Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mathematics, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, and Physics participate, which provides students a wide range of experimental and theoretical research choices. Focus areas seeking fellows include self-assembled magnetic nanoparticle arrays, high moment alloys, tribology of nanocomposite films, high-speed magnetization dynamics, particulate dispersions, thermal magnetic relaxation, electrochemical deposition techniques, and spin-electronics, including GMR, TMR and magnetic semi-conducting materials. Strong communication skills and a willingness to work in a team environment are critical.
