    Châtillon, France
    Post-doc on the investigation by transmission electron microscopy of point defects and stacking faults in BN nanostructures
    Announcement date: 21 March 2025

    [show details]

    Description

    The goal of this postdoctoral project is to carry out state-of-the-art experimental research on stacking and point defects of hexagonal boron nitride with the intent of elucidating the link between structure and properties. The systems of choice will include twisted interfaces, chemical defects and lattice reorganizations which may be natively present or generated on purpose. The project will stem from the recognized expertise of the laboratory on BN systems and will exploit the full potential of the recently acquired MOSTRA microscope. The machine, a JEOL probe-corrected NEOARM equipped with a cold FEG, capable of operating at 30, 60, 80 and 200 kV in all of its acquisition modes, brings together a unique set of functionalities and implements state-of-the-art techniques such as 4D-STEM and DPC. Furthermore, a customized CEOS Energy filter enables the acquisition of Angle-Resolved Electron Energy Loss (AR-EELS) maps, particularly relevant for the investigation of the dielectric function in anisotropic or angle-dependant systems (e.g. moiré physics).

    Requirements

    Strong skills in TEM (different modes: imaging, 4D-STEM, EELS, etc.), ability to set up original instrumental developments, experience in investigating low-dimensional structures (2D, 1D, 0D, etc.) or quantum materials. Previous experience in the synthesis/fabrication of nanomaterials would be a real plus.

  • UCLouvain
    Louvain, Belgium
    TEM post-doctoral research position
    Announcement date: 19 March 2025

    [show details]

    Description

    The Institute of Materials and Process Engineering (IMAP) of the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) is looking for a post-doctoral researcher to support transmission electron microscopy characterization of advanced aluminium alloys processed by additive manufacturing and also possibly involving multi-material (steel, Mg, oxides, ...) interfaces. The candidate needs to be trained in high resolution (scanning-) transmission electron microscopy techniques (TEM and STEM), and have experience in STEM-EDX and automated crystallographic orientation mapping in TEM (ACOM-TEM). Hands-on experience with in-situ TEM experiments including heating, cooling or straining will be appreciated. Knowledge on behaviour of defects in materials is also important.

    Requirements

    • You hold a doctorate degree (PhD) in Physics, Materials Science, Materials Engineering or similar;
    • You understand and have experience in high resolution TEM and STEM, STEM-EDX, ACOM-TEM and in-situ TEM;
    • You have deep knowledge on behaviour of defects in materials;
    • You have published in high impact factor journals with referee system;
    • You have experience in paper and project writing and in presenting your work at international conferences;
    • You have experience in guiding Master and PhD students is welcome;
    • You have an excellent proficiency in English;
    • You are quality-oriented, conscientious, creative and cooperative.

    Postdoc in Microscopy of Enzyme Immobilization
    Announcement date: 18 March 2025

    [show details]

    Description

    A Postdoc position is available for experimental research on enzymes immobilized on polymeric and organic-inorganic hybrid matrices for catalysis of chemical reactions needed for transitioning to a sustainable and green society. 
    The candidate will work on visualizing the position, density, structure, and dynamics of immobilized enzymes using a suite of state-of-the-art optical and electron microscopy techniques. The work is part of a highly interdisciplinary collaboration – Biocatalysts Interactions with Gases (BIG) - comprising novel characterization, analysis, testing, and modeling of gaseous substrates at immobilized enzymes, with international leading partners at North Carolina State University (NC State), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

    Requirements

    As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent). 

    We favor candidates with a degree in physics, chemistry, or biology. The candidate should have documented experience with optical and electron microscopy and, preferably, have experience in biocatalysis and nanoscience. Experience in scientific programming, e.g. using Python, is important.

    Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 13 April 2025 (23:59 Danish time).
