Job description
The Electron Microscopy group, one of six scientific groups in the CFN, is composed of seven staff scientists and supports four electron microscopes for characterizing nanomaterials at the atomic scale in-situ and ex-situ (www.bnl.gov/cfn). In this position, you will be a member of the Electron Microscopy group working under the supervision of Dr. Judith C. Yang. Two first-of-its-kind aberration-corrected, monochromated scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) optimized for electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) with sub-Angstrom spatial resolution will soon be added to the CFN. With installation expected in 2025, the first EELS-STEM will be an ultra-low KeV STEM for low Z, radiation-sensitive, 2-dimensional, and quantum materials. The second EELS-STEM will be an ultra-high vacuum environmental STEM capable of a pressure range of 10-9 to 1 or 10 Torr at the sample area, with expected installation in 2026. The CFN also houses forefront surface science equipment and synchrotron-based X-ray probe tools within the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLSII) for multi-modal investigations. The CFN is seeking an exceptional and creative scientist with outstanding expertise i...
