Introduction
At IBM, work is more than a job - it's a calling: To build. To design. To code. To consult. To think along with clients and sell. To make markets. To invent. To collaborate. Not just to do something better, but to attempt things you've never thought possible. Are you ready to lead in this new era of technology and solve some of the world's most challenging problems? If so, lets talk.

Your Role and Responsibilities
IBM is seeking a Research Scientist for a position at T. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of surface and interface chemistry and physics, electroanalytical chemistry or other relevant aqueous media experience, semiconductor wafer processing, materials science and characterization, surface control requirements and methods. The Researcher will conduct experimental studies toward a fundamental understanding of mechanisms for ultraclean processing of semiconductor surfaces and develop wet process solutions targeted at novel computing device prototyping, applications and systems. The technical goals include collaborative efforts to invent, develop and demonstrate processes that can achieve atomic layer precision and utilize novel methods to address interfacial phenomena that impact current and future device and interconnect technologies. The successful candidate will be responsible for applying these processes and fabrication technologies to an advanced prototyping environment.
