About this role

Scientist, Epitaxial Thin Film Synthesis Cambridge, MA USA Your Impact at LILA As an epitaxial thin film scientist on the Materials Science team at Lila Sciences, you will serve as the lead for synthesis of high-quality epitaxial thin films, contributing to the discovery of novel quantum materials with emergent electronic and magnetic properties. Your domain expertise at the intersection of materials growth, structural characterization, and electronic transport will translate into the method design and automated workflow to enable high throughput experimentation that Lila's autonomous science platform learns from. This work contributes to Lila's materials science programs focused on the predictive design of novel material families and compounds with novel functional properties. You will design growth and characterization protocols that shape how the platform interrogates new material systems, and your experimental outputs feed directly into the next round of campaigns. You will partner with experimentalists, systems engineers, and machine learning scientists, providing the functional-properties knowledge that keeps closed-loop campaigns scientifically grounded and accelerating toward next-generation materials systems. What You'll Be Building - Grow single-crystal epitaxial thin films and heterostructures using epitaxial deposition methods (sputtering, pulsed-laser deposition, molecular beam epitaxy). - Optimize deposition conditions (substrate temperature, flux ratios, growth rate) to achieve atomically sharp interfaces and target crystal phases. - Analyze XRD and AFM data. - Design, fabricate, and measure electronic transport devices, including temperature-dependent resistivity, Hall effect, and magnetoresistance. - Analyze magneto-transport data to extract physical parameters and identify emergent ground states. - Maintain deposition and characterization equipment; troubleshoot hardware and
