Jobbeschreibung

Job Title: Electron Microscopy Facility Manager (f/m/d, full or part-time)

The engineering of hybrid materials requires understanding of interfacial phenomena through in-depth characterization of the physicochemical properties of interfaces at different length scales and in operando conditions. Electron Microscopy provides high-resolution structural and compositional analysis of our materials and is pivotal in supporting cutting-edge research at the institute.

Position Overview

We seek a highly motivated specialist to manage our Electron Microscopy Facility. Senior candidates capable of running the facility immediately or after a short orientation phase, as well as postdoctoral researchers aiming to develop a career in science support, are encouraged to apply.

The Core Facility Electron Microscopy, integrated within the Research Department of Innovative Electron Microscopy, provides electron microscopy services to the entire institute.

Responsibilities

1. Operate various electron microscopes (SEM, ESEM, FIB, TEM, including aberration-corrected (S)TEM) and provide professional microscopy services, including training, advice, guidance, and measurements for research projects.
2. Offer expert advice on best practices, planning, supervising, and applying different electron microscopy techniques for research projects.
3. Train users of the EM facility (including SEM, FIB, TEM).
4. Maintain the facility's equipment and ensure optimal operation.
5. Contribute to the analysis and management of EM data, including developing and maintaining a Research Data Management Plan.
6. Supervise technical staff at the facility.
7. Engage in scientific exchange with internal units and external academic and industrial partners.
8. Contribute to the development, validation, and implementation of novel electron microscopy techniques for analyzing complex functional materials.
9. Publish scientific results and present at internal, national, and international meetings.

Qualifications

• PhD in materials sciences, physics, chemistry, or a related discipline with a focus on electron microscopy.
• Proven experience with scanning/transmission electron microscopy and related spectroscopy techniques applied to functional materials. Additional experience in advanced STEM techniques, cryogenic SEM/TEM, and applications to beam-sensitive materials or biological samples is advantageous.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for effective teamwork.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to manage multiple projects with internal and external partners.
• Fluency in English; proficiency in German is a plus.

What We Offer

• An open, stimulating, interdisciplinary, and international research environment with state-of-the-art infrastructure.
• Opportunities to contribute to joint research projects and participate in professional development.
• A supportive environment that encourages participation and self-driven development.
• A TVL 100 contract aligned with your qualification level, initially limited to 2 years with the possibility of a permanent position based on performance.

Application Process

Interested candidates are invited to upload their CV and motivation letter by May 15th, 2025, via our online application system. For further information, please contact Prof. Dr. Arnzazu del Campo, Scientific Director & CEO of INM. For more about the institute, visit our website.
