A new postdoctoral position is now open at INMA (Zaragoza, Spain). The Instituto de Nanociencia y Materiales de Aragón (INMA) – a joint institute of the Universidad de Zaragoza (UNIZAR) and the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) – is one of Spain’s leading centres for materials research.
Within the GREENE project, INMA leverages its cutting-edge expertise and advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) facilities to investigate the nanoscale structure, chemistry, and magnetism of newly engineered Nd-Fe-B magnets. INMA’s contributions are critical to both the development and performance monitoring of innovative magnetic materials central to the project’s goals.
The GREENE postdoctoral position at INMA will focus on the atomic scale and magnetic characterization of Nd-Fe-B at different length-scales (single crystals, micro and nanosized grains) and the newly designed grain boundaries by advanced aberration-corrected (S)TEM techniques and local magnetic characterization by electron holography and DPC imaging. This work will be performed at the electron microscopy facilities of the Spanish National Infrastructure for Electron Microscopy (ELECMI) of the Laboratory of Advanced Microscopy (LMA) at INMA, which is equipped with two aberration-corrected TEMs: a 2025-upgraded double-corrected Titan Cube and a probe-corrected Titan 60-300, equipped with the most advanced imaging and spectroscopic tools for structural, chemical and magnetic analysis.
Requirements for the candidate:
- PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Nanoscience, Nanotechnology or related.
- Fluent in English with good writing skills.
- Experienced researcher in advanced (S)TEM, preferably in (Nano)magnetism.
- Scripting/programming skills (python, MATLAB…) will be highly valued.
Details of the position:
- ~22 months contract. Salary depending on the postdoctoral experience.
- Official call pending.
- Pre-selected candidates will be informed about application procedure.
Tentative starting date:
- 1st September 2025.
