The Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) has a world standard laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques. The Centre has nineteen electron microscopes, two XRD units, one XPS unit and provides leading edge capability in micro structural analysis to the staff and students across a broad range of disciplines at the University of Queensland. In addition, the CMM provides training to clients in relevant techniques and in solving characterisation problems in a wide range of industrial, environmental and biological processes.

This role is to manage and operate a dual-beam scanning electron microscope which will be located in the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM). This role involves a number of aspects including the training of new users in the proper and effective usage of the instrumentation, in the preparation of sample specimens for transmission electron microscopy; the production of high quality 3-dimensional (tomographic) images the measurement of analytical data and crystallographic data from freshly milled samples. Moreover, aiding clients in experimental design and in the interpretation of high quality data will be a highly significant aspect this management position.

Applicants should possess qualifications and/or experience in dual beam scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and have the demonstrated ability to manage the technical operations and maintenance of the FIB/SEM and be committed to understanding and servicing the requirements of its user community. The applicant will be an enthusiastic and capable individual with excellent oral and written communication skills and be willing to take responsibility for the facility and to facilitate the research programs of the users.
