Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is nowadays routinely performed in scanning transmission electron microscopes, enabling chemical characterization of materials at the nanoscale. However, as a characterization technique for studying soft functional materials (polymers, organic crystals, coordination frameworks, etc.), EELS remains largely underutilized. The main goal of the project is to develop approaches for the chemical characterization/imaging of soft functional materials and their interfaces at the nano/atomic scale making use of information from different regions of EELS spectra. In this project you will combine state-of-the-art materials science and cryo-electron microscopy workflows, as well as apply ab initio calculations (in close cooperation with other members of the E-MOSAIC project team) to support the detailed interpretation of spectroscopical data, in order to understand the relationship between chemical composition, electronic structure and functional properties of studied compounds. YOUR PROFILE:

  • We are looking for a highly motivated person (f/m/d) with Master’s degree in Chemistry/Materials Science/Physics or a closely related field, who is passionate about both physical chemistry and nanoscale characterization of materials.
  • Experience with material characterization using microscopy and/or spectroscopy techniques and corresponding data interpretation will be an advantage.
  • Having basic programming skills will be an advantage.
  • Excellent communication and writing skills, thorough command of the English language. German language knowledge is very beneficial.
  • Ability to work as a member of an international, multi-disciplinary team. WE OFFER: We offer excellent conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:
  • An exciting position in a dynamic research team located on the attractive research campus Saarbrücken.
  • An opportunity to work with high-end microscopy equipment, including an aberration corrected transmission electron microscope equipped with state-of-the-art EELS spectrometer and direct electron detection cameras.
  • Strong support to perform high-quality research and to publish and present your research results (journals, national and international conferences).
  • A comprehensive benefits package (flexible working hours, mobile working, company pension scheme). Desired starting date: as soon as possible, salary level E13 TV-L 60%, contract limited to three years (with possible extension). We are looking forward to receiving your application (CV, a complete list of publications, one-page motivation letter, at least two letters of reference) by March 15th, 2026.

USA

We invite applications for a Research Associate (Cryo-EM specialist) position, jointly shared by Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and Harvard Medical School. This Research Associate position will be hosted at Harvard Medical School with responsibilities split between the two campuses. This annually appointed academic role advances discovery in structural biology by providing support and training for researchers seeking to learn cryo-EM, serving as an interface between the instruments and a vibrant scientific community.

Responsibilities to FAS will take place in the newly established Cryo-EM imaging core under the Harvard Center for Biological Imaging (HCBI). This is the first cryogenic imaging facility dedicated to biological samples on Harvard’s Cambridge campus. This facility houses sample preparation devices (Vitrobot Mark IV, Wohlwend High Pressure Freezer, Leica EM AFS2 Freeze Substitution), and a Glacios 2 cryo-electron microscope with X-FEG, fringe-free imaging, Selectris energy filter and Falcon4i direct electron detector.

Responsibilities to Harvard Medical School will take place at the Harvard Cryo-EM Center for Structural Biology (HCCSB): a joint effort by Harvard Medical School, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston Children’s Hospital, Massachusetts General Bringham, and Harvard FAS to provide state-of-the-art cryo-EM instrumentation and expertise for the structural biology community.
