IMDEA Materials Institute is a public research organization founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government to carry out research of excellence in Material Science and Engineering by attracting talent from all over world to work in an international and multidisciplinary environment. IMDEA Materials has grown rapidly since its foundation and currently includes more than 120 researchers from 17 nationalities and has become one of the leading research centers in materials in Europe which has received the María de Maeztu seal of excellence from the Spanish government. The research activities have been focused in the areas of materials for transport and materials for energy and the Institute has state-of-the-art facilities for processing, characterization and simulation of advanced materials. More information can be found at http://www.imdea.org/materials
We are seeking an innovative and skilled microscopist able to contribute to the application of advanced microscopy techniques (FIB, SEM, EBSD, EDS, TEM) to the characterization of materials, including the use of these techniques to carry out in-situ mechanical tests at the micro and nanoscale.
The selected candidate will assist other researchers (including external users) in the use of the microscopy facilities, will manage the electron microsocopy lab, and will be encouraged to develop his own research lines in the area of electron microscopy.
Candidates should have a master in Materials Engineering or Physics. A PhD will be highly valued.
The applicant must be an experienced transmission electron microscopist, with accredited experience in:
A good background in the use of SEM, EBSD and FIB, as well as in nanomechanical testing, will be strongly valued.
Academic credentials (publications, invited/keynote lectures in international conferences, etc.) and ability to work in an academic, international and multidisciplinary environment.
Ability to coordinate and maintain state-of-the-art research facilities.
Fluent English is required.
Full-time contract including social security coverage.
Salary depending on previous experience and credentials.
The position will be open until the candidate is selected.
Besides on-the-job technical training, IMDEA Materials Institute is committed to train the Institute’s scientists and staff in “soft” or transversal skills. See the available training here.
Meet our some of our alumni.
