Argonne National Laboratory

Ever since we were born out of the University of Chicago’s work on the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, our goal has been to make an impact — from the atomic to the human to the global scale.. The main responsibility is to advance the applications of plasma focused ion beam technology for biological specimen preparation and subsequent imaging and chemical analysis with synchrotron-based X-ray microscopy.. The candidate will also actively contribute to the operation and further development of multiple instruments for biological applications, including synchrotron-based microscopy instruments, a dual-beam SEM, and a confocal light microscope with a cryogenic stage. Considerable experience in at least two of the following fields: electron microscopy of soft materials, focused ion beam, x-ray imaging of soft materials, cryogenic microscopy. Experience with cryogenic microscopy and cryogenic biological sample preparation is a plus
