Description

MetOx Futures Invitational An Exclusive On-Site Experience for PhD and Master’s Candidates Apply to be selected for a one-of-a-kind opportunity to showcase your research, interview with MetOx’s technical leaders, and explore the frontiers of superconductivity. Who We Are: MetOx is a Houston-based startup transforming the future of energy and computing through advanced high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape. We are scaling up production of next-generation superconducting wire using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and electrochemistry. Our work spans the frontiers of materials science, plasma physics, thin-film engineering, and process automation all grounded in deep first-principles thinking. We’re not just building better materials. We’re building the backbone of the next energy revolution. About the Event: The MetOx Futures Invitational is an application-only, invitation-only on-site event for exceptional PhD and Master’s candidates ready to turn research into impact. During this all-expenses-paid experience at our Houston headquarters, you’ll: Tour our facility and advanced MOCVD production lines Present your thesis or capstone work to MetOx scientists and engineers Interview for full-time roles in R&D, process, and equipment engineering Engage with our leadership team driving the future of HTS manufacturing Network with other elite researchers from top programs across the country This is not a career fair. It’s a selective technical summit where discovery meets opportunity. Who You Are: You’re a newly minted (or soon-to-be) PhD or MS with hands-on experience in thin-film deposition using MOCVD, PVD, or related techniques. You excel in environments where hardware, process, and material properties are deeply interconnected, and your research mindset thrives on solving real production challenges. Your expertise may span process engineering, plasma and thermal chemistry, or equipment and hardware design, but your strength lies in connecting across those domains to bring superconductivity to scale. Your Working Style: Grounded in first-principles problem solving. Fueled by curiosity and experimentation. Naturally cross-disciplinary: chemistry + physics + engineering. Energized by a startup mindset. Iterate fast, learn faster, own your outcomes. You understand that controlling variation is often harder, and more powerful, than the invention itself. Opportunities Include: Thin-Film Process Development Deposition Equipment Engineering & Fluid Modeling Materials & Interface Characterization Electrochemical Polishing & Surface Engineering Apply Now: If you’re ready to apply your advanced degree to the future of superconductivity, please submit your resume as well as a brief statement (approximately one page or less) describing why you’re interested in attending the MetOx Futures Invitational. We’d love to hear what excites you about MetOx, how your research or academic background connects to our work, and what impact you hope to make in the field of advanced materials or clean energy. Applications to be considered for this event must be submitted by November 21, 2025. Selected participants will be invited to Houston for this immersive on-site experience. This is your opportunity to bring your research to life and help power the world in a new way.
