Formal evaluation of candidates will begin on December 1st, 2014

The School of Engineering of EPFL invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor in electron microscopy of materials within its Institute of Materials. We seek exceptional individuals who will develop and drive a research program at the forefront of the discipline, who have a strong dedication to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and who will be proactive members of a vibrant Materials community.

Top-level applications are invited from candidates at the cutting edge of electron microscopic imaging as applied to materials science and engineering. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, high-resolution imaging, 3D and 4D imaging, advanced analysis methods, and innovative modeling approaches, as applied to the structural characterization of materials by means of electron microscopy.

Start-up resources and the state-of-the-art research infrastructure at EPFL’s Interfaculty Center for Electron Microscopy (CIME) will be made available for the successful candidate. Salaries and benefits are internationally competitive.
