Brookhaven National Laboratory
Staff Scientist for Analytical Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, us, 11973
Overview
Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. The Electron Microscopy group is one of six scientific groups in the CFN, composed of seven staff scientists and supports four electron microscopes for characterizing nanomaterials at the atomic scale in-situ and ex-situ. The CFN is seeking an exceptional and creative scientist with expertise in instrumentation development and application of advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy within research areas relevant to energy security, such as heterogeneous catalysis, oxidation/corrosion, and battery materials; microelectronics; and/or quantum materials. The role focuses on optimizing two incoming aberration-corrected monochromated STEMs and developing instrumentation science to advance quantitative and analytical STEM. You will establish your own research programs aligned with the CFN\'s Strategic Plan and collaborate with a broad range of users on diverse research projects that benefit energy, microelectronics, and quantum materials. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: As a Scientific Staff member for the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy, you will have these roles and responsibilities: Be primarily responsible for frontier NION electron microscopes
Carry out impactful nanoscience and instrumentation science of your own, publish papers, and give external presentations on your research enabled by these cutting-edge tools
Support the nanoscience user community and perform basic science research in analytical scanning transmission electron microscopy
Contribute to the management of the Electron Microscopy facility user program, including user proposal reviews, allocations, and scheduling
Oversee day-to-day operations of the various electron microscopes, especially the analytical electron microscopy capabilities
Mentor post-docs and graduate/undergraduate students and foster their professional development
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: You are qualified for this Staff Scientist position if: You have earned a Ph.D. in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or a suitable Engineering discipline, and a minimum of two years of post-PhD experience
You have conducted high-impact research using and developing aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and spectroscopy, especially electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and EELS simulations, to understand nanomaterials, demonstrated by publications
You have technical expertise and keen interest in optimizing electron microscopes
You are an engaged member of electron microscopy and materials science professional societies and regularly present your research at conferences and workshops
You are committed to safe laboratory practices and fostering a respectful environment
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: You are well-matched to this position if: You have earned a Ph.D. and a minimum of four years of post-PhD experience
You have experience with a wide range of electron microscopy techniques and development of forefront EM techniques (software and/or hardware), quantification of EM data, 4D-STEM, tomography, and in situ
You have demonstrated experience developing data analytics tools using Python or other programming languages for data analytics, processing, or machine learning on microscopy data, including spectroscopy
You have strong hands-on experience operating and maintaining Nion STEMs
You have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and a passion for collaboration across disciplines
You collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary teams, in both leadership and supporting roles
Other Information: On-Site Position
Brookhaven Laboratory is committed to providing fair, equitable and competitive compensation. The full salary range for this position is $103650 - $145733 per year. Salary offers will be commensurate with the final candidate\'s qualification, education and experience Brookhaven National Laboratory requires all non-badged personnel including visitors to produce a REAL-ID or REAL-ID compliant documentation to access Brookhaven National Laboratory. This is due to nationwide identification requirements for federal site access as required by the REAL ID Act. Those not in possession of a REAL ID-compliant document will not be permitted to access the site which includes access to the Laboratory for interviews. About Us
Brookhaven National Laboratory delivers discovery science and transformative technology to power and secure the nation\'s future. The Lab is a multidisciplinary research institution with a long history of award-winning discoveries and collaborations with DOE and partner institutions. Equal Opportunity
Brookhaven Science Associates is an equal opportunity employer that values inclusion and diversity. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic.
