Postdoctoral opportunities at Rice

I will be sending some emails shortly, but I wanted to point out postdoctoral opportunities here at Rice University.

The Smalley-Curl Institute is having a competition for two two-year postdoctoral fellow slots.  Click on the link for the details.  The requirements for a candidate:

• Nomination by current SCI faculty member
• Ph.D. in a field related to an SCI focus areas
• Successful Ph.D. thesis defense before start of appointment
• Ph.D. completed no more than three years before the start of the appointment

I would be happy to work with an interested, competitive candidate on this, and the deadline for applying is December 31.  Research areas in my lab these days include:  nanostructure-based studies of correlated quantum materials, including noise-based measurements; studies of spin transport and thermally driven spin effects in insulating magnets, from basic science to applications in low-power electronics; plasmon-based nanophotonic light sources and plasmonic junctions for physical chemistry.  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. 

Rice also has a university-wide endowed honorific postdoctoral program called the Rice Academy of Fellows.   Like all such things, it's very competitive, and it similarly has a deadline of January 3, 2024.  Again, applicants have to have a faculty mentor, so in case someone is interested in working with me on this, please contact me via email.
