The continuous development of advanced electron microscope components (lenses, sources, aberration correctors) have made electron microscopy a key enabling technology for high-resolution inspection in materials and life sciences and in industry. These components however tend to be technologically complex and bulky, making high-resolution microscopes relatively large and expensive. Microfabrication offers a route to shrink the size of these components, potentially leading to drastic reductions in costs and footprint. Moreover, MEMS components can give rise to new functionality such as the MEMS-fabricated hole array that is used to generate multiple beam-lets in our new multi-beam scanning electron microscope (FAST-EM). As a postdoc in this joint project between TU Delft and Thermo Fisher Scientific, you will work to fully unlock the potential of MEMS-components for cheaper and higher resolution electron microscopy. You will design and fabricate new MEMS-based alternatives to standard components such as electrostatic multipoles and lenses. You will study the electron optics perfomance both experimentally and via computer simulations, including study of the interaction of energetic electrons with the micron- and nanoscale patterned features that form the functional units in the MEMS-components
Functie-eisen
You hold a doctorate in (applied) physics or a related engineering discipline with extensive, proven experience in microfabrication and high-resolution electron microscopy. You are a skilfull experimentalist who likes to work both in our cleanroom facility and build fabricated components into vacuum test benches or electron microscope columns for performance testing. You like to work in an international environment on industrially relevant technological problems, and easily communicate and collaborate with academic and industrial colleagues. While the majority of work will be conducted in Delft, frequent travel to Thermo Fisher in Eindhoven is to be expected.
Arbeidsvoorwaarden
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.
TU Delft
Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context. At TU Delft we embrace diversity and aim to be as inclusive as possible (see our Code of Conduct). Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale.
Challenge. Change. Impact!
Afdeling
Research in the department of Imaging Physics is aimed at developing novel instrumentation and methodology in imaging science and sensing technology. Our research products extend existing boundaries in terms of spatial resolution, temporal resolution and information/data throughput. We are pioneers in developing advanced concepts of computational imaging, a marriage between cleverly designed imaging systems and sophisticated post-processing. In everything we do, there is a core of cutting edge physics and engineering of high-tech instruments, of the use of the most advanced computing techniques, and of a very close link to real-life applications. Our work has clear societal impact in the areas of life sciences, healthcare, and industry.
