    Associate scientist job in Ames, IA

    Ames National Laboratory Scientist I Job Group: Professional & Scientific Required Minimum Qualifications: Master's degree and 3 years of related experience Preferred Qualifications: PhD in experimental condensed matter physics, material sciences or material engineering. Three or more years' research experience following a PhD. Demonstrated knowledge and experience in low-temperature magnetic measurements beyond standard magnetometers. Demonstrated solid publication record in relevant areas with leading authorship. Job Description: Would you like to continue your scientific career at a U.S. National Laboratory that conducts world-renowned research? Would you enjoy working on a beautiful university campus in a mid-sized city location that regularly ranks as one of the U.S. Best Places to Live? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should consider a career with Ames National Laboratory! Ames National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy federally contracted National Laboratory located in Ames, Iowa, on the campus of Iowa State University. We are dedicated to translating foundational science through applied research to create technological innovations. We create materials and inspire minds to solve problems, addressing some of the most challenging issues facing our world today. We promote and believe in a culture of civility and shared ownership, supporting the Laboratory's collective success. Position Overview The Division of Materials Science and Engineering at Ames National Laboratory seeks a highly qualified, strongly motivated Scientist I who will grow into a strong contributor to active, collaborative research in quantum information and condensed matter physics. The successful candidate will work within a dynamic, diverse team-including Ames National Laboratory staff scientists, Department of Physics & Astronomy faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students-while developing a personal research trajectory in experimental magnetic and superconducting quantum materials with a strong emphasis on materials for quantum information science under the SQMS center. Beyond technical skills, the role emphasizes a deep understanding of classical and modern condensed matter physics, collaborative impact, and progressive independence, helping to set research directions, participate in group proposals, and identify and pursue new funding opportunities aligned with Ames National Laboratory's mission. Research Focus and Techniques The scientist will investigate the fundamental physics of magnetic and superconducting quantum materials, with particular attention to mechanisms of quantum decoherence in superconducting qubits and strategies to mitigate them. To achieve these objectives, advanced characterization and sensing tools-such as NV‑center diamond magnetometry, frequency‑domain susceptometry (e.g., tunnel‑diode, microwave cavity perturbation and coplanar waveguide resonators), as well as real‑space magneto‑optical Kerr and Faraday imaging will be used. Interest and ability to develop novel approaches or expand existing techniques is a strong plus. Familiarity with commercial platforms (e.g., Quantum Design PPMS/MPMS) is beneficial, with an expectation to adapt experimental methods as project evolves.
