Advanced Electron Microscopy of 2D nanomaterials

INL is seeking a postdoctoral fellow (2 years period) to join the group of Advanced Electron Microscopy to carry out investigations on 2D nanomaterials of transition metal chalcogenides, carbides, nitrides etc. The project will involve carrying out electron microscopy and spectroscopy in order to understand their atomic structure. Understanding the atomic structure, defects, dislocations and grain boundaries is crucial to elucidate their magnetic, electronic and optoelectronic properties and hence the focus of these investigations will be towards achieving this objective. The candidate should have a strong background in electron microscopic and spectroscopic techniques (HRTEM, STEM, EDS, EELS, Electron Diffraction etc.) and should have employed them previously towards studying nanomaterials. Further knowledge of carrying out STEM/TEM simulation and generating structural models using standard softwares will be a plus. In addition he/she should have an adequate experience in high temperature synthesis of nanomaterials, ex: transition metal chalcogenides (MoS2, WS2, etc.), Nitrides ex: BN etc.

The successful candidate should have a PhD degree in science or engineering. The applicant should have a strong enthusiasm for interdisciplinary work, excellent English communication skills and should have exhibited a good track-record of disseminating experimental results to the scientific community.
