Associate Research Physicist - AMSS

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) is seeking a highly motivated Associate Research Physicist 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) and their characterization. This role involves hands on experimental research, including CVD growth, nanofabrication, and optical, electrical and material characterization 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.

Responsibilities

• Design and execute experiments for the growth of high purity single crystal diamond using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), with precise control of defect incorporation and electronic dopa...
