Job description

Department
Applied Superconductivity Center - National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
Responsibilities
The Applied Superconductivity Center at Florida State University (FSU) and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) invite applications for a post-doctoral research associate position to perform nanostructural characterization using a variety of electron microscopy techniques. The position will focus on improving our understanding of the micro-, meso-, nano- and atomic-scale structural origins of the superconducting properties of high field superconductor tapes, wires, thin film and bulks with the aid of our advanced electron microscopes. Available equipment includes an aberration-corrected atomic resolution (scanning) transmission electron microscope (S/TEM), a focused ion beam (FIB) equipped FESEM and supporting sample preparation tools. The successful candidate would be a microscopist who focuses on materials science and problem solving. This position requires expertise in a TEM/STEM operation and FIB nano-fabrication so that the applicant can quickly begin actively participating in research. The successful applicant will become a member of a highly interactive and collaborative group that has along tradition of helping post-docs build a successful career in scientific research. The post doc will also be part of the strong post doc program at the MagLab.
Qualifications
Ph.D. in materials science, physics, engineering, chemistry, or related field completed within the last three years
  • Extensive prior experience in TEM/STEM operation and making TEM samples
  • Extensive prior experience preparing TEM specimens using FIB
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills as evinced by publications, presentations, cover letter, and references

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience operating Cs-corrected STEMs
  • Experience in EELS or EDS in STEM

Other Information
Application package we request:
CV (Please list names and contact information of 2 possible references)
Cover letter addressing the qualifications outlined above.
One notable published paper or pre-print (co-)authored by the candidate (.pdf format)
Application package can be sent to:
