PhD Scholarships in Advanced Electron Microscope Improvement, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Netherlands (2015-2016)

In this position you will be working on very broad and unique projects. You will be developing, building and simulating experiments with state-of-the-art machines. You also will be working closely together with different companies and start-ups. As a PhD student you will have a lot of freedom and time to work on long-term projects in a dynamic environment. The successful candidates will work with scanning electron microscopes which each have a unique feature under development: one has 196 electron beams instead of one, another has a confocal light microscope looking at the same sample, a third one has a conversion from electron beam to ion beam, yet another has a special kind of electron mirror in the optics, and the last one has the functionality of a nanotechnology cleanroom.

Requirements
A Master’s degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering, Material Science or Nanotechnology is required for this position. Since the lab takes a multidisciplinary approach to the research, the applicant should have a broad technical interest. The primary requirements for this position (and joining the lab) are that you are a self-motivated student who wants to pursue a career in research or development of high-tech instrumentation. You also have a hands-on mentality and a good command of the English language, and you easily and actively collaborate with other scientists.
