Positions and Opportunities
There are often opportunties for early career scientists to engage closely with MAESTRO. These can include employment by LBL or its affiliated institutions at the undergraduate (summer internships and "after school" assistant) graduate student research, and postdoctoral hires and fellows.
For general information on these opportunities, please contact any of the beamline staff:
Eli Rotenberg: erotenberg@lbl.gov
Aaron Bostwick: abostwick@lbl.gov
Chris Jozwiak: cmjozwiak@lbl.gov

Job Description: The Reconfigurable Electronic Materials Inspired by Nonlinear Neuron Dynamics (REMIND) Energy Frontier Research Center seeks a postdoctoral candidate to be stationed at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The candidate should have a strong interest in fundamental properties of quantum materials and their operation in novel devices. The candidate shall use the ARPES spectroscopic technique using state of the art synchrotron-based nanoARPES and LEEM/PEEM instruments at the MAESTRO beamline 7.0.2 of the ALS under supervision of Dr. E. Rotenberg.
Department of Energy sponsored activies
SULI internships (year-round undergraduate internships)
Past SULI activities at MAESTRO included:
developing devices for in operando magnetic field studies using microARPES and nanoARPES
developing optical microscopy software for identifying 2D materials in a atmospheric-controlled glovebox
Ongoing Partnering Opportunities
These programs are offered by ALS and provide generous stipends for suporting extended visits (typically one or more years). They require a partner insitution (typically university but also foundations, industry are possible) to provide primary salary, benefits and affiliation. At MAESTRO, these opportunities offer a chance to work on cutting edge techniques, hardware and workflows that advance the microARPES, nanoARPES, and PEEM techniques. They are supervised by one of the beamline staff. For more information, contact one or more of the beamline staff using the emails listed above.
Past activities by ALS fellows at MAESTRO include:
pioneering studies of graphene and related materials
development of strain devices for microARPES studies of strained materials
study of oxide materials using in situ pulsed laser deposition
