We invite applications for post-doctoral positions in the group of Prof. Carmen Menoni in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Colorado State University. Our research focuses on understanding fundamental properties of amorphous oxides, which are key components in optical interference coatings in state-of-the-art lasers and ultra-stable optical cavities. We investigate structural and optical properties of these materials and their multilayers. As part of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) international collaboration our group has been investigating novel amorphous oxides for the coatings of these ultra-sensitive interferometers in which internal friction in the coatings is a key limiting factor. We have unique capabilities to grow these mater
