Postdoc opportunity

While I have already spammed a number of faculty colleagues about this, I wanted to point out a competitive, endowed postdoctoral opportunity at Rice, made possible through the Smalley-Curl Institute.  (I am interested in hiring a postdoc in general, but the endowed opportunity is a nice one to pursue as well.)

The endowed program is the J Evans Attwell Welch Postdoctoral Fellowship.  This is a competitive, two-year fellowship, and each additionally includes travel funds and research supplies/minor equipment resources.  The deadline for the applications is this coming July 1, 2018 with an anticipated start date around September, 2018.  

I'd be delighted to work with someone on an application for this, and I am looking for a great postdoc in any case.  The best applicant would be a strong student who is interested in working on (i) noise and transport measurements in spin-orbit systems including 2d TIs; (ii) nanoscale studies (incl noise and transport) of correlated materials and non-Fermi liquids; and/or (iii) combined electronic and optical studies down to the molecular scale via plasmonic structures.  If you're a student finishing up and are interested, please contact me, and if you're a faculty member working with possible candidates, please feel free to point out this opportunity.
