Tenure Track Professorship in the field of Experimental High-Resolution TEM (f/m/d)

  • Graz, Steiermark
  • Unbefristet
  • Vollzeit
  • 1 Tag her
Offer DescriptionScientific ProfileWe are seeking a candidate with proven scientific expertise in experimental high-resolution electron microscopy using STEM. The following knowledge is of particular interest:
  • Diffraction-based techniques such as 4D-STEM and spectroscopic, momentum-resolved methods such as EELS, as well as EDXS
  • Expertise in electron microscopic preparation of nanoscale structured materials, including FIB techniques and cryo-preparations
  • Expertise in materials from the fields of Energy Materials Science and Photocatalysis, as well as functional oxides and low-dimensional (2D) and bio-materials
  • Experience and application of numerical methods / simulations and implementations necessary for these research questions (molecular dynamics, multi-slice, DFT)
  • Experience in handling and preparation of environmentally and electron-beam sensitive materials
With this professorship, the field of aberration-corrected, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy for the characterization of nanoscale materials at both the development and application levels at FELMI will be strategically strengthened. The focus is on the experimental, quantitative analysis and targeted modification of defects in energy materials, 2D materials, and functional oxides at the atomic level. Central objectives are the development of precise simulation and reconstruction models and their experimental validation. Close collaboration with research groups in theoretical solid-state physics/chemistry, machine learning, and artificial intelligence is expected. Close cooperation with industrial partners and the acquisition of third-party funding projects are required.The new professor will complement the existing strengths of the institute and build an internationally visible research group. In addition to research activities, intensive involvement of the position holder in teaching within the Physics and Materials Science degree programs at the Master's and PhD levels is expected. Active participation in academic self-administration is required. At Graz University of Technology, the degree programs in Physics and Materials Science are taught in English.Employment Requirements
