The Central Lab at LUMS aspires to be a national center for advanced characterization and analytical techniques. It aims at becoming the go-to place for high-end characterization and analysis for academia and industry within the country.
The Central Lab at LUMS is looking for a Research Associate to assist in managing the Physical Properties Measurement Lab, which mainly includes a Cryogen-Free Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and a SmartLab SE X-Ray Diffractometer. The role involves conducting measurements, exploring the instruments, and analyzing samples to make full use of their capabilities.
The candidate should have a solid background with demonstrated experience in experimental work, preferably in one or more of the following areas:
- Measuring magnetic moments using a Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM).
- Conducting resistivity, Hall effect, superconductivity and magneto-transport analysis.
- Performing XRD measurements and analyzing XRD data.
Candidates with a good working knowledge of Solid-State Physics, Magnetic and Electrical material will be preferred. M.Phil graduates in Physics or Materials Science are encouraged to apply. We are looking for candidates who not only have experience operating one or more of the mentioned instruments but also possess a strong understanding of the materials science and physics related to the samples and techniques. Preference will be given to those with a good knowledge of solid-state physics, as well as magnetic and electrical materials.
