How can I get an electron microscopy job?

The qualifications that you need to get an electron microscopy job include a relevant degree, professional certification, and the skills to operate an electron microscope. Educational requirements vary from employer to employer. Some labs provide on-the-job training for high school graduates, though most prefer that you have a postsecondary certificate or degree in laboratory science or a related field. Some employers require that lab technicians have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant science subject, but this is not as common. You can also pursue professional accreditation, such as certification in electron microscopy from the Microscopy Society of America.
