Job Description

Your tasks

--------------


You will participate in developing a novel imaging technique, low-energy electron holography, which will be applied for atomic-resolution imaging of 2D crystals, such as graphene, and nanocrystalline samples such as individual macromolecules

The project will consist of the following tasks:Designing and building a coherent low-energy electron microscope Sample preparation and recording holograms Numerical reconstruction of the sample structure Presenting the results at conferences, writing papers

Your profile

----------------


Master's degree in physics or engineering Good knowledge of solid-state physics, coherent optics, and theoretical physics (quantum mechanics, QED) is required Experience in experimental physics Programming skills (Matlab, Python) and experimental experience in electron microscopy and light optical imaging are a plus

We offer

------------


Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.
