Open Positions for Postdoctor & Graduate Students
The Electron Microscopy for Energy Materials via Environment Manipulation Lab (eM^3) of Institute for Energy Materials and Devices located at Naju, South Korea, has two open positions for postdoctoral researchers on the materials science programs which will be pursued by using the most advanced aberration-corrected in-situ TEM/STEM.
eM^3 run by Prof. Sang Ho Oh (previously affiliated to POSTECH, Pohang, South Korea), equipped with the two state-of-the-art TEM/STEM systems, JEOL ARM 200F with double Cs correctors (particularly an ASCOR probe corrector from CEOS), Grand ARM 300F with double Cs correctors, and various detectors (high-resolution EELS and EDS, SAAF detectors, and bi-prism for electron holography) and in situ TEM holders (heating, heating/biasing, gas flow holders from DENS Solutions, straining holder from Gatan, and nanoindentation holder from Hysitron).
Basic requirements of postdoctor position:
-
Ph.D in Materials Science, Condensed Matter Physics, Solid State Chemistry or related discipline;
-
expertise in TEM characterization techniques (advantageous for in-situ TEM and/or aberration-corrected TEM/STEM experiences) and the appropriate sample preparation methods;
-
TEM data analysis skills and experience in using computers for data acquisition, analysis, and modeling. Knowledge of basic computer programming (Matlab, etc.) or scripting is also advantageous;
-
good written and oral communication skills;
-
strong self-motivation to work both independently and as a part of a team;
-
proven ability for disseminating research results by writing manuscripts and giving academic presentations.​
Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

With these most advanced TEM/STEM instruments in hand, the group is ultimately aiming at “seeing and identifying” individual atoms at work in TEM and high-resolution mapping of elastic strain, local charges, electric dipoles and magnetic spin and related physical properties to understand the structure-property relationship all the way down to the atomic scale. The group has particularly strong research interests in: 1) new functionality emerging from “electride” based new material systems; 2) atomically controlled oxide hetero-interfaces and artificially fabricated transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures. The position will benefit greatly from close collaboration with world-renowned research groups.
