Job Description
Hummingbird Scientific is expanding its team by adding another Applications Scientist to support our rapidly growing global customer base in in-situ liquid and gas holder microscopy research.
This position would work closely with the customer as a technical expert in in-situ liquid/gas cell microscopy, from the first discussions about suitable hardware and product training to performing in-situ microscopy experiments. Working with our engineering department to develop next-generation environmental cell hardware and methods is another important responsibility of this position. Finally, the Applications Scientist will lead our technical marketing efforts by generating scientific content and presenting it to the microscopy community.
We have two TEMs in Hummingbird Scientific’s in-house TEM lab where we also often host visiting scientists. There are several new in-situ TEM product development projects ongoing, so there will be many opportunities to test and work with our new in-situ microscope products and take the lead in interesting research collaborations.
We seek candidates with a curious mind and a hands-on attitude towards science and microscopy. This position requires one to wear different hats, so multitasking and being a strong planner is essential.
Qualifications
Key Qualifications:
- In a research setting, having hands-on experience with in-situ TEM of liquid cell or gas cell sample holders.
- Ability to write, professionally visualize, and present technical and scientific content
- Comfortable at supporting and dealing with customers and collaborators in different countries
- Experience with TEM, SEM, or X-ray microscopy
Education:
- MS or Ph.D. in Science or Engineering with a focus on liquid and gas environmental in-situ Transmission Electron Microscopy
