The Opportunity
Join Monash University a global leader in advanced electron microscopy and materials research. Based at the Clayton campus this role is an exceptional opportunity to conduct leading research in the development of cryo-EM methods to solve problems in an important class of challenging materials.
This Level A Research Fellow position will contribute to the ARC Discovery Project Revealing Order in Organic Semiconductors with Cryo-Electron Microscopy. The successful candidate will apply and develop advanced cryo-electron diffraction and imaging methods to uncover structureproperty relationships in organic semiconductor materials working closely with Professor Chris McNeill in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering Dr. Amelia Liu in the School of Physics & Astronomy as well as alongside two PhD students also funded to work on the project.
The research will be supported by Monashs world-class research infrastructure in electron microscopy. This includes the Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy and the Ramaciotti Centre for Cryo-EM that both house advanced scanning/transmission electron microscopes equipped with state-of-the-art electron detectors and a full suite of correlative and specimen preparation instruments (SEM cryo-FIB-SEM ultramicrotomy etc). Monash researchers can also access a range of high-performance computing infrastructure.
Applicants must hold a PhD (or equivalent experience/education/training) in a relevant discipline and demonstrate expertise in advanced electron microscopy of materials or a closely related area. Additionally the successful applicant will have excellent verbal and written communication skills and be able to lead and contribute to research projects as part of a diverse team.
