How much do entry level transmission electron microscopy jobs pay per year?

As of Aug 2, 2026, the average yearly pay for entry level transmission electron microscopy in the United States is $103,972.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $55,000.00 and $146,500.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Entry Level Transmission Electron Microscopy vs Entry Level Scanning Electron Microscopy?

AspectEntry Level Transmission Electron MicroscopyEntry Level Scanning Electron Microscopy
CredentialsTypically requires a degree in materials science, physics, or related fields; certification is uncommonSimilar educational background; certifications are also uncommon
Work EnvironmentLaboratory settings with specialized equipment for high-resolution imagingLaboratories and industrial settings focusing on surface imaging
Industry UsageResearch institutions, nanotechnology, materials analysisMaterials science, electronics, quality control

Both roles involve operating electron microscopes in laboratory environments, requiring similar educational backgrounds. The main difference lies in the type of microscopy: transmission electron microscopy focuses on internal structure imaging at high resolution, while scanning electron microscopy emphasizes surface imaging. Understanding these differences helps in choosing the right career path or job search focus within microscopy fields.

Postdoctoral Appointee - MSD Nanoscale Magnetic Heterostructures

Argonne National Laboratory

Lemont, IL

$72K - $121K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 13 days ago


Job description

The Materials Science Division (MSD) at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral appointee to join the Nanoscale Magnetic and Electronic Heterostructures group. This position will focus on understanding novel and emergent behavior in nanoscale magnetic heterostructures, particularly in confined 2D van der Waals magnets and related devices. The goal of the program is to study and control magnetic domains such as nontrivial skyrmions, using external stimuli (e.g., optical excitations, electric and magnetic fields) and internal nanoscale heterogeneity, defects, and interfaces (e.g., twisting heterostructures). Correlating the magnetic domain behavior with microstructure/composition will enable the local energy landscape of the nanostructures to be determined. The successful candidate will primarily leverage state-of-the-art in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM), including Lorentz TEM, and will have the opportunity to utilize other advanced techniques, such as ultrafast electron microscopy, magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy, and scanning NV microscopy. This position will also involve preparing suitable samples and devices using 2D material transfer systems and nanofabrication methods in the cleanroom at the Center for Nanoscale Materials. The candidate will work in a collaborative environment including a network of leading researchers.

Position Requirements

  • Recent or soon-to-be-completed PhD with strong background in Materials Science or Physics (within the last 5 years)

  • Considerable experience in understanding magnetic-domain physics in thin film and/or nanostructured materials.

  • Experience with TEM, including Lorentz TEM and in-situ cryo experiments.

  • Experience with nanofabrication (e.g., focused ion beam, electron-beam lithography and photolithography), transport measurements and thin film deposition is preferred.

  • Advanced image processing and analysis skills.

  • Experience with micromagnetic simulation is preferred.

  • Ability to work independently as well as in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team.

Please upload the following as attachments to your application via Workday:

  • CV/Resume

  • Unofficial Ph.D. Transcripts

  • If already awarded, a copy of your Ph.D. diploma. Candidates can be currently enrolled to apply, but must have proof of degree conferral by the position start date.

At the point of interview, candidates will be asked to submit the name/contact of three references.
