Established in 2006, the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE) is the focal point for earth and space science and engineering at Arizona State University, one of the largest and fastest growing institutions of higher learning in the United States. An essential part of the SESE mission is an effective integration of disciplines such as astrophysics, biogeochemistry, geology, geophysics, hydrology and engineering for scientific exploration.

LE-CSSS Microprobe 

The LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid Sate Science (LE-CSSS) at Arizona State University invites applications for a non-tenure track Assistant Research Professor to run a new state-of-the-art Electron Microprobe in our John M. Cowley Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy. He/she will be expected to run the microprobe laboratory, operate and maintain the instrument and train others to operate the microprobe independently; and will work in an interdisciplinary research environment, assisting users from many academic departments including the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Fulton School of Engineering. This will be a joint appointment within the LE-CSSS and the School of Earth and Space Exploration or the Department of Chemistry/Biochemistry, depending on the expertise of the candidate. Exceptional candidates may be considered for a more senior appointment. 

Applicants must have a PhD in Geological Sciences, Chemistry, Materials Science or a related area and must have experience in running an electron microprobe and in processing microanalytical data. Demonstrated experience in use of an electron microprobe to analyze chemically complex materials and an active research program in earth sciences, planetary sciences, solid state chemistry or materials science is desired.

Applicants must send a letter of application, a CV with publication list, and the names and contact information of three references to:

Chair of the Electron Microprobe Search Committee
