NSF STROBE Graduate Fellow Position

The Miao Group in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA is seeking candidates for an NSF STROBE Graduate Fellow Position, which is funded by the NSF STROBE Science and Technology Center. Over the years, our group has regularly published research papers in top journals such as Nature, Science and Nature Materials. We are also extremely proud of our group alumni who have been doing really well in academia and industry. Eighteen of them have become faculty members in some major universities in the world, such as UC Berkeley, UCLA, Peking University, National Tsing Hua University, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, KAIST, POSTECH and others. Many of our group alumni have been staff scientists in major international laboratories and companies such as the Rosalind Franklin Institute in U.K., Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) in Germany, Amazon Science, Meta (Facebook), Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Canon U.S.A., Inc., Uber and Carl ZEISS.

We are now seeking motivated candidates to work in coherent diffractive imaging and/or atomic electron tomography. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to use state-of-the-art electron microscopes and/or coherent x-ray sources to probe the structure and dynamics of quantum, energy, and/or biological materials. For more information, please visit our group website. If you are interested in this position, please send your CV to Prof. John Miao (miao@physics.ucla.edu).
