The Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung is seeking for a new Post-Doc, on:

'Correlative 3D-Precession Electron Diffraction / Atom Probe Tomography'.

Subject background:

Scope of the three‐year project is the development of a 3D TEM orientation mapping technique that provides information as known from 3D‐EBSD but non‐destructively and potentially with 50x better nm spatial resolution.

Your task:

Establishment of a procedure that allows semi‐automated acquisition of a tilt‐series of 2D‐PED scans and the subsequent measurement of the same specimen by APT. Support the team in Grenoble with the development of the 3D‐PED reconstruction algorithm. Digitally merge multidimensional information from TEM and APT and quantify information on grain boundary segregation. Specimen preparation by focused ion beam milling.

Candidate:

We are looking for a highly motivated Post‐Doc with a physics or materials science background. The candidate should have experience with and great interest in TEM method development, digital image processing, programming, multidimensional data analysis and materials science.

Application:

The interested candidate should upload a comprehensive application including application letter, detailed scientific CV, his/her publications, two reference /support letters from his professors and details about courses / classes / grades here.
