Job Summary

This is a summer, temporary position running in two segments: from June 1 to July 4; and from August 1 to August 15, 2025.
CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. We are committed to creating a workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Who We Are

The research conducted by the faculty, staff, and students in the CU Physics Department is vibrant and cutting edge across the broad scope of most subfields in physics.
The discovery of the Higgs boson was made at the CERN supercollider, in a collaboration involving our high energy physics faculty. Nobel-prize caliber research is carried out in studies of quantum gases and quantum optics. Condensed-matter theorists and experimentalists unravel the mysteries of many-body systems, including liquid crystals and the quantum mechanical nature of the electrical and magnetic behavior of materials.
Other areas of interest include the physics of nuclei, both low and high-energy plasmas, and an exciting thrust into the behavior of ultrafast laser pulses and the response of atoms, molecules, and solids to such novel light sources. Novel studies of physico-chemical reactivity are also underway at temperatures a mere whisper above absolute zero. The burgeoning subjects of biophysics and nanoscience continue to thrive and grow here, along with energy science, geophysics, physics education research, and other interdisciplinary fields.

What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be

Duties: synthesize materials with chiral orbital currents and study these materials as functions of manetic field, electrical current and temperature.

What We Can Offer

The salary for this position is $35.00 per hour.

Benefits

Temporary positions at the University of Colorado are not benefits-eligible, however, all positions are eligible for paid sick leave.
