About this role

Research Associate - Thin Films (Fixed Term) Menlo Park, California, United States About Periodic Labs The most important scientific discoveries of our time won't happen in a traditional lab. We're an AI and physical sciences company building state-of-the-art models to accelerate breakthroughs across materials, energy, and beyond. Backed by world-class investors and growing rapidly, we operate at the pace the frontier requires. Our team brings deep expertise, genuine ownership, and an insatiable drive to push the boundaries of what's scientifically possible. About the Role Join a world-class team of scientists and engineers pushing the boundaries of physical R&D in a groundbreaking lab where AI and automation unlock discoveries at unprecedented speed and scale. Periodic Labs is developing AI that can both simulate science and verify its predictions to train on the full scientific method. A central challenge in that mission is the gap between bulk materials discovery and thin-film form: materials our AI predicts and our powder lab synthesizes must ultimately be validated as scalable thin films to be relevant to semiconductor, memory, and advanced materials applications. We are building a dedicated thin-film lab (PVD, PLD, plasma ALD) with construction beginning in May 2026, while actively generating early data at partner facilities including Stanford Nanofab and other user facilities in the Bay Area. We are seeking a hands-on Research Associate in Thin Films to execute advanced deposition and nanofabrication processes, generate high-quality experimental data, and collaborate closely with our AI and materials teams. This is a 12-month fixed-term position with
