X-ray/TEM Postdoctoral Researcher

Position overview Institution ALBA Synchrotron Light Facility Department Experiments Service Interdisciplinary and Multimodal Section Location Cerdanyola del Vallés (Barcelona), Spain Description This postdoctoral position is dedicated to scientific and technical methods for correlative operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS) and (Scanning) Transmission Electron Microscopy (S)TEM within the frame of the IMPRESS project (Interoperable electron Microscopy Platform for advanced RESearch and Services), funded by HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01-01. The IMPRESS project aims to develop an interoperable platform based on a modular and standardized cartridge concept. The cartridges are designed to be inserted into TEM specimen and aperture holders, as well as other instruments for preparation and characterization, including surface science tools, transport measurements, microfocus X-ray tomography instruments, and synchrotrons. Within IMPRESS, ALBA is involved in the development of a MEMS-based micro-reactor for correlative photocatalytic experiments in TEM and synchrotron beamlines for CO2 reduction reaction and generation of high value products. The selected person will report to the Interdisciplinary and Multimodal Section Head and will work in close synergy with the Interface X-ray/TEM and Methodology groups, with beamline scientists, the Joint Electron Microscopy Center at ALBA (JEMCA), and with the project partners. The role emphasis is on the testing of the microreactor prototypes in the (S)TEM and X-ray beamlines. Requirements Candidates must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Physics, or equivalent. Hands-on experience in (S)TEM and/or synchrotron X-ray techniques. More information & application For further information or to apply for this position, please visit the official ALBA Synchrotron recruitment page.

Looking back at 17MCM – 17th Multinational Congress on MicroscopyPortorož, Slovenia | September 7–12, 2025 A huge thank you to the entire microscopy community for an inspiring and dynamic week! The European Microscopy Society (EMS) is proud to have participated and thanks the organisers and participants for this rich EMS extension meeting; where many EMS activities took place, including: EMS meetings:• EMS Board Meeting, on Monday  September 8, 2025• EMS General Assembly, on Wednescay September 10, 2025 – Download EMS OPA – Outstanding Paper Award 2024:Taking place at the EMS General Assembly. Congratulations to the awardees for this well-deserved scientific recognition! The Charity Run organised by the congress, where EMS members participated with enthusiasm — running together for a good cause Meeting sientists at the EMS booth — a lively space for interaction, networking, and sharing ideas. And more….. Check out some highlights in the congress website: https://17mcm.si ! Thank you to all participants, volunteers, organizers, and partners for making this edition truly memorable. Looking forward to what’s next in science and the microscopy community! Website

Dutch Microscopy Days 2026

After the great success of the Microscopy Days 2025, NEMI, NL-BioImaging, and NVvM are joining forces again to organise the Dutch Microscopy Days 2026 on November 2-3 2026 in Maastricht. The event will consist of one day focused on light microscopy, and one day, focused on electron microscopy. The event will also host the NVvM general assembly which is open to everyone.
