The appointments are expected to begin in August 2015

The Department of Physics at Arizona State University (ASU) seeks to fill up to three faculty positions in the topical area of aberration-corrected electron microscopy. Two positions will be at the assistant/associate professor level and the third appointment is an open rank position. Rank and tenure status will be commensurate with the candidate’s experience and publication record. Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent in physics or a closely related field at the time of appointment, and demonstrated research experience in the field of aberration-corrected electron microscopy. An outstanding record of accomplishments with clear potential to establish a vigorous research program that will attract external funding, show a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and demonstrated experience in a multidisciplinary collaborative environment are highly desirable. The appointments are expected to begin in August 2015.

We seek applicants who will help to leverage recent substantial investments in facilities and instrumentation by the University for promoting cutting-edge electron microscopy. ASU is home to the John M. Cowley Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy and has a well-established international reputation in transmission electron microscopy. The university has recently established the Southwestern Center for Aberration Corrected Electron Microscopy, which features three aberration-corrected instruments, also allowing monochromated and in situ microscopy as well as electron holography. The successful applicants are expected to develop strong experimental and/or theoretical programs that will advance the scientific capabilities of these new instruments.
