REPORT


TEM Lab/Group Leader | Postdoctoral Positions | Operator Positions Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST) Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (FIST) is a large selective investment by XJTU in an effort to establish a world-class, multi-disciplinary research institute. To achieve this goal, FIST is setting up ten research centers of excellence in physics, chemistry, bio-science/life science/basic medical science, and materials science, and adopting a new management system similar to that of most U.S. universities. The multi-disciplinary Materials Research Center (MMRC) is the first research center of FIST. It focuses on interdisciplinary research with emphasis on smart materials such as piezoelectrics, shape memory materials, and magnetostrictive materials. Over the years, MMRC has gained a significant reputation for its high-quality research and people. To strengthen the microscopic characterization of MMRC’s diverse research, MMRC has purchased a JEOL 2100F high-resolution transmission electron microscope, together with a full set of periphery equipment. We have decided to establish a TEM laboratory/group and all the positions are open for application. Positions Available (full-time): 1. One TEM lab/group leader (tenured or tenure-track depending on qualifications) 2. One or two postdoctoral positions 3. One TEM operator Job Description: • The lab/group leader will lead a research group and generate high-quality research using TEM. • Collaborate with MMRC members and carry out TEM characterization experiments for the entire MMRC. • TEM operator will be in charge of TEM operation, training of users, maintenance of the TEM, and its periphery equipment, and establish an efficient system to assist users to obtain high-quality results.

An eligible candidate for the TEM lab/group leader position should have a track record for excellence in research using TEM and the potential to lead the lab/group to success. Depending on the qualifications, the position may be tenured or tenure-track. Successful candidates will be provided with a competitive start-up package including an annual salary of 300k-500k RMB, and competitive startup funds, together with many other benefits. Position offer and start-up package will vary with the candidate’s qualifications. See our Chinese ad at http://fist.xjtu.edu.cn/job/show.asp?id=11 for details. An eligible candidate for the postdoctoral position should have at least two years of experience in TEM and have demonstrated a potential for excellence. An ideal candidate for the TEM operator position should have at least five years hands-on experience in TEM. We shall provide competitive salary and other benefits. See our Chinese ad at http://fist.xjtu.edu.cn/job/show.asp?id=11 for details. Interested individuals should provide a cover letter, CV, and a list of ten representative publications (not required for TEM operator position). The application materials should be sent to: Dr. Xiangli Meng Frontier Institute of Science and Technology (
