• Provide support for external academic and industrial users of the instrument
• Maintain and develop analytical standards
• Manage the instrument usage schedule, billing, and the facility website
• Coordinate all vendor service for the instruments
• Additional responsibilities may include development of new analytical protocol
Experience analyzing geological and/or other industrial materials by EMPA is essential. Some experience maintaining an electron microprobe is preferable but not a requirement. The instrument will to be on a JEOL service contract and some amount of on-the-job training is expected.
Eligible job candidates are expected to hold an M.S. and/or a Ph.D. degree in geoscience and other related disciplines involving materials research. To apply, candidates should go to –
