Postdoctoral position: 3D Structure Characterization of Nanomaterials 1189 views

The EMAT research group, Faculty of Science at University of Antwerp is seeking to qualified candidates for a Postdoctoral position in the area of “3D Structure Characterization of Nanomaterials under Realistic Conditions” under the supervision of Prof Sara Bals.

About the position:

• The position is situated in an H2020 ERC Consolidator grant 3D Structure of Nanomaterials under Realistic Conditions (REALNANO).
• The overarching goal of REALNANO is to establish the structure-property connection of nanomaterials under realistic conditions.
• Tracking 3D changes of nanomaterials and their surface ligands in a thermal and gaseous environment is therefore required.
• A successful candidate will work on the development of novel alignment and 3D reconstruction algorithms for in-situ electron tomography.

Requirements:

• Applicant must hold a PhD degree with a background in Physics, Computing Science, Mathematics or Tomography.
• Applicant must be enthusiastic and greatly interested in the field of electron microscopy data.
• Applicant must be highly motivated, quality-oriented, conscientious, creative and cooperative.

Duration: initially for 1 year; renewable depending on performance

How to apply:

Apply online with the following:

• Motivation letter
• CV
• Summary of Master thesis
