PME Mason Lab

About the Department

The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME: https://pme.uchicago.edu/) was established in May 2019 and evolved from the Institute for Molecular Engineering, which was founded in 2011. The PME integrates science and engineering to address global challenges from the molecular level up. The PME\'s rigorous academic and research programs are made possible through the University of Chicago\'s unique partnership with Argonne National Laboratory. The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering is the first new school at the University of Chicago in three decades and the first school in the nation dedicated to molecular engineering. In the next phase of growth as a School, the PME will continue to expand its team of world-class faculty researchers and empower students from diverse backgrounds to collaborate with faculty in cutting-edge facilities. The PME aims to bring solutions for urgent societal problems to the forefront, while training the next generation of scientific leaders and entrepreneurs.

Job Summary

The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) is seeking a Staff Scientist to lead research on low-temperature transport measurements of quantum materials in the Mason Lab.
