Post Doctoral Researcher Transmission Electron Microscopy (Nanotechnology) at University of Ulm
Applications are invited for postdoctoral positions in the field of high-resolution analytical transmission electron microscopy applied to nanostructures and
nanotechnology, starting from November 2006,. Experiments will be performed on one of the world-first TITAN 80-300 equipped with imaging Cs corrector, STEM detector, Gatan imaging filter, Bi-prism, Lorentz lens and Tomography possibilities.
The work will involve research into the evaluation of Z-contrast imaging techniques also in a conventional TEM in order to establish a solid base for electron
tomography for material science applications in a conventional TEM and in STEM with applications to nanotechnology. The project is financed by a grant awarded by the German research Foundation (DFG) and will be supervised by Prof. U. Kaiser, (start January 2007).
The candidate we are looking for must have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science. He/she should have demonstrated ability, experience and enthusiasm in TEM and STEM and related calculations. Knowledge and experience in electron tomography is an advantage. The projects will be initially for 2 years. The salary is set in accordance with the German publicservice pay scale TVÖD (approx. €25.000 to €33.000 P.A. after tax, depending on age and family state).
The city Ulm, birth town of Albert Einstein, offers an active cultural environment and plentiful recreational opportunities, the place is located near to the
mountains (Alps).
