Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
The Structural Materials Research Group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is seeking applicants for a staff position and a post-doctoral appointment, both specializing in the characterization of materials using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Electron Microscopist staff position requires a minimum of a two-year specialized degree with expertise and training in the operation of analytical TEM instruments as well as in the preparation of electron transparent materials for examination. This individual will conduct research on a wide variety of metallic, ceramic and composite materials in support of scientists and engineers in the Structural Materials Research Group. Current activities include both basic and applied research in the areas of deformation mechanisms in metals, interfacial segregation and precipitation, radiation effects in metals, ceramics and composites, and environmental degradation. In addition, the position will help oversee the maintainance of the Group microscopy facilities which include three conventional TEMs, a field-emission-gun (FEG) TEM and a scanning TEM, SEMs and a scanning Auger microprobe.
A post-doctoral position is also available focussed on the high-resolution characterization of grain boundaries in metallic alloys by analytical TEM. Energy dispersive x-ray and electron energy loss spectroscopies will be used with the FEG-TEM to elucidate segregation and precipitation mechanisms in aluminum and stainless steel alloys. The initial post-doctoral position would be for one year and a second year renewal is possible. The position requires a PhD degree in material science, physics or a related discipline and experience in analytical TEM for quantitative compositional analysis.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is operated by Battelle Memorial Institute for the U.S. Department of Energy. PNNL is a multiprogram laboratory located at the Hanford site near the junction of the Columbia, Snake and Yakima rivers in SE Washington state.
