CMM operates a new state of the art Cs corrected Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (STEM)- the HF5000, which requires a highly skilled and experienced scientist/engineer who can both operate and maintain the instrument as well as prepare high quality specimens/samples for the physical sciences. The role will also provide support for CMM’s other TEM instruments: the Tecnai F20 and two Hitachi HT7700 in a team.

In brief: manage, plan, coordinate and oversee EM projects in collaboration with CMM users. Finally, the role includes a clear research component: the job holder will develop new protocols and methods for atomic scale structure determination via scanning transmission electron microscopy, pixelated detector applications as well in-situ sample testing and apply them to research projects.
