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.
