This is a postdoctoral position in Western Digital Research, a world-class research laboratory in San Jose, California with ~80 employees. Research activities in the lab focus on information storage, sensors, spintronics, superconducting devices, and AI memory/compute architectures. The materials team engages in experimental and computational research activity with the mission to develop novel materials for emerging technologies. The team is well-equipped with thin film deposition tools, related characterization methods and support staff, located in a fully functional cleanroom with the capability to fabricate a wide array of nanoscale devices using novel materials. This postdoctoral position requires conducting and developing capability in computational simulations of materials, interfaces and devices, including all forms of transport phenomena (e.g., thermal, electronic, spin). The postdoctoral candidate will work on new materials exploration and evaluating key material properties and interactions for device design. The work environment rewards innovative thinking and a highly collaborative attitude.
