Postdoctoral scholarship in transmission electron microscopy

The Department of Chemistry at Stockholm University offers a postdoctoral scholarship focused on developing methods for scanning electron diffraction (SED) applied to soft and beam-sensitive material systems, particularly biopolymer composite materials. The project involves utilizing emerging opportunities for rapid collection of electron diffraction data using transmission electron microscopy, such as 4D-STEM and SED, enabling structural investigation of highly electron beam-sensitive specimens. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with leading groups internationally and will focus on developing protocols for data collection and analysis, as well as the interpretation of resulting data to understand hierarchical organization in biobased composite materials. The scholarship is funded for 1+1 years and is intended solely for scientific studies and education, not constituting formal employment.
