Job Opportunity: Senior Research Associate (Biological Sciences)


Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Salary in the range $65,000 to $75,000 annually, dependent on experience.


The Ohio State University seeks to hire a Senior Research Associate for an appointment in
the Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS). CEMAS is part of the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and operates with the College of
Engineering (CoE). CEMAS is a custom designed electron microscopy facility officially opened in Spring 2013 and provides a world-class environment for an array of
electron and ion beam instruments, including two aberration corrected FEI Titan (S)TEM
instruments.


You will work under the guidance of Prof. David W. McComb (Director, CEMAS) and
 will lead the development and application of electron microscopy and spectroscopy
methods to problems in the physical sciences with particular emphasis on the analytical
applications of electron microscopy. The work will be carried out on a recently delivered 
image-corrected Titan 60-300 instrument fitted with ChemiSTEM technology and ultrafast
dual EELS capability, as well as probe-corrected Titan 80-300 fitted with a monochromated
 XFEG source, high resolution EELS and EDX capabilities. The facility has three additional
TEMS, four SEMs and two dual beam FIB instruments. You will provide a leadership role
on the teaching and training of microscopy methods and collaborate with research partners.
You will support in the development of research funding opportunities.


At this time we are focused on candidates who have successfully completed PhD studies in biological sciences. Previous experience of research in electron microscopy is essential and previous experience with TEM, STEM, EELS and
EDX equipment is required. Excellent communication and organizational skills are 
necessary.


Applicants are encouraged to email their resume and cover letter directly to:

Ms. Libby Steele, Email: Steele.704@osu.edu

Screening of applicants will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
