Germany
Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in Scale-Bridging Correlative Tomography
Announcement date: 01 September 2025Description
We invite applications for a motivated doctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team specializing in scale-bridging correlative tomography to investigate hierarchical porous structures. The successful candidate will focus on characterizing stationary phase materials (SPMs) used in chromatography, as well as other porous materials, utilizing state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as electron tomography (ET), nano X-ray computed tomography (nano-CT), and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).
Submission Is Possible Until: 30 September 2025
Requirements
- Master’s degree or equivalent in Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a closely related field with competitive grades.
- Strong interest in tomographic imaging techniques and data analysis.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
- Able to work in an interdisciplinary team, high level of independence and diligence.
- Able to present ideas and results to a broad audience.
- Proficient in the English language; proficiency in the German language is beneficial though not essential.
Desirable Qualifications:
- Prior experience with SEM/FIB, TEM or X-ray microscopy methods is a plus but not required.
- Experience with tomographic imaging techniques and data analysis.
- Programming skills and familiarity with image processing and analysis software.
- A keen interest in advancing methodological developments in tomography and materials characterization.More information

Stockholm University
Stockholm, Sweden
Staff Scientist – Scanning Electron Microscopy
Announcement date: 08 August 2025Description
The Department of Chemistry at Stockholm University has more than 200 employees. Research spans all areas of chemistry such as analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, materials chemistry, inorganic and structural chemistry and organic chemistry. Research projects ranges from theory to experiment, from fundamental research to applied projects often with a strong focus on sustainable chemistry and the development of advanced analytical methods for studies of materials and chemical compounds.
To support its various research programs, the Department of Chemistry has a well-developed shared research infrastructure. The Electron Microscopy Center currently has three staff scientists responsible for instrument maintenance, instrument training, and support of users. We are now looking for a new staff scientist focusing on Scanning Electron Microscopy to join our team.
Requirements
• A PhD degree in science, engineering, or a related field.
• Extensive knowledge of advanced SEM instruments, including EDS spectrometers, with 3-5 years of experience in their use and maintenance.
• Strong expertise in acquiring and interpreting data relevant to materials research, for soft or hard materials.
• Familiarity with cryo sample-preparation techniques for analysis of soft matter and bio-based materials.
• Strong ability to collaborate with users from various backgrounds and levels of expertise, as well as with administrative and technical staff.
• Good organizational and analytical skills and documented abilities for independent work.
• Proficiency in spoken and written English.

Heidelberg University
Germany
Full Professorship (W3) in “Multimodal Imaging” (f/m/d)
Announcement date: 28 July 2025Description
We are searching for a researcher with an internationally visible, original research program focusing on imaging and characterization of biological, polymeric and functional hybrid structures at the micro- and nanometer scales, including contributions to the 3D reconstruction and quantitative analysis of experimental data using appropriate computational tools. Ideally, the successful applicant will strike a balance between development and application of methods for spatial high-resolution imaging of 3D systems. Particularly attractive is experience in the characterization of time-varying material systems and the development of novel electron- and optical imaging techniques. However, cryo-electron microscopy should not be the main focus. The candidate should demonstrate a strong track record in research, teaching, and the acquisition of third-party funding. They should possess collaborative skills and a comprehensive understanding of the
interdisciplinary field of multimodal imaging.Requirements
The appointment requires a university degree, an outstanding doctorate, pedagogical aptitude which is usually proven by teaching experience, and, in accordance with article 47 (2) of the Higher Education Law of the state of Baden-Württemberg (LHG), a Habilitation, a successfully evaluated junior professorship or equivalent qualifications.
