> <http://www.physics.pdx.edu/%7Epmoeck/research%20group> at the
> Department of Physics <http://www.physics.pdx.edu/> of Portland State
> University <http://www.pdx.edu/> is seeking candidates (m/f) for MSc and
> PhD projects in the field of transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
> based nanocrystallography. The graduate student projects focus on
> aspects of the development of novel nanocrystal characterization
> methods. These methods will utilize a combination of high-resolution
> phase contrast imaging in TEM and goniometry of direct lattice vectors
> <http://www.physics.pdx.edu/%7Epmoeck/goniometry.htm>.
>
> The Nanocrystallography group is a user of Portland State University’s
> electron microscopy center
> <http://www.gatan.com/knowhow_8/psu_open_house.pdf>. Occasional travel
> to and work at the National Center for Electron Microscopy
> <http://ncem.lbl.gov/>, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is
> anticipated to access some of the most advanced TEM instrumentation in
> the country. Summer research at the Department of Physics, Technical
> University Chemnitz may also become part of some projects.
>
> The ideal candidate has a diploma of BSc. in crystallography,
> mineralogy, materials science and engineering, physics, or chemistry,
> and it interested in both geometrical-structural crystallography and
> transmission electron microscopy. Computer- and experimental skills are
> essential for the success of the projects. While some projects will
> require more experimental skills, some other projects will require more
> computer skills (notably JScript, Java, C++, Perl, PHP).

> Portland State University is with an estimated enrollment of about
> 30,000 students Oregon’s largest and only urban university.
> Portland/Oregon <http://www.portlandonline.com/> is the major city in
