Postdoctoral Position in Optics
Applications are solicited for a postdoctoral position in the field of experimental optical metamaterials and plasmonics in the research group of Prof. Gennady Shvets at Cornell University. The topics pursued in the group include (1) integration of 2D materials and metasurfaces, (2) topological photonics, (3) biosensing and cancer detection using plasmonic metasurfaces. Possibilities for conducting experimental work on microwave metamaterials also exist, especially in the context of non-reciprocal and topological metamaterials. More information about the research can be found at the group’s homepage: http://shvets.aep.cornell.edu . A PhD in physics, optics, or related area is required, and hands-on experience in the following areas will be considered a plus: infrared optics, nanofabrication, biophotonics, spectroscopy, microwaves. It is expected that the candidate has a record of publications on these topics in leading refereed journals. Theoretical projects are also available for the right candidate. The salary and benefits are competitive, and the successful candidate will join a well-established yet dynamic group. Starting date: as early as summer/fall 2017. Send a CV, a statement of research interests, and the names of three references to Professor Gennady Shvets by email to gshvets@cornell.edu, or to the address below. Applications will be considered until this position is filled.

Postdoctoral Position in Plasma Physics
Applications are solicited for a postdoctoral position in the computational/theoretical plasma physics, with the emphasis on ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions and high energy density laboratory plasma physics (including astrophysical plasmas). Applications to plasma based acceleration of electrons and ions and high energy density plasmas are currently pursued in the group. More information about group’s activities can be found at shvets.aep.cornell.edu. Abundant opportunities exist to interact with several laser-plasma experimental groups in the US and overseas. A recent PhD in physics or related area is required, and experience is desirable in one of the following areas: plasma physics, accelerator physics, laser-plasma interactions, particle simulations. The salary and benefits are competitive, and the successful candidate will join a well-established dynamic group. Starting date: as early as summer 2017. Send a CV, a statement of research interests, and the names of three references to Professor Gennady Shvets by email to gshvets@cornell.edu , or to the address below. Applications will be considered until this position is filled.
