Position Available - Scanning Electron Microscopy

>
> The Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Directorate (ARES)
> at NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) is seeking a team member with
> expertise in Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to support ongoing
> research and analysis projects. ARES is responsible for the curation
> and analysis of a wide range of solar system materials including the
> Apollo lunar samples, a large meteorite collection, comet dust samples
> (Stardust mission samples), samples from the Sun (Genesis sample return
> mission), and space-exposed hardware. Ongoing research includes a wide
> range of planetary, meteoritical, and space exploration topics. ARES
> staff member backgrounds include geology, chemistry, astronomy, physics,
> plus biology, mathematics, computer science, and engineering.
>
> We are searching for an individual with broad experience in scanning
> electron microscopy to assist and train researchers and students in the
> use of a field-emission SEM and a low-vacuum SEM instrument. Typical
> analyses include secondary electron imaging, backscattered electron
> imaging, low voltage work, and X-ray analysis and mapping using
> energy-dispersive x-ray spectrometry. Responsibilities include, but are
> not limited to: maintaining and operating all aspects of these
> microscopes, coordinating service for the instruments, and supporting
> peer-review research through high quality analyses of astromaterials.
> Secondary responsibilities may include development of new analytical
> techniques. In addition to the SEMs, the facility also houses
> state-of-the art transmission electron microscopes, and electron
> microprobe, and supporting instrumentation.
>
> This is a team ESCG position with Jacobs Technology. A bachelor's
> degree from an accredited university is a minimum requirement; the
> degree should be in an applicable geoscience, materials science, or
> engineering field. An advanced degree with strong experience in one of
> these fields is highly preferred. Five years of relevant experience is
> preferred. The candidate should have a strong grasp of the theory and
> practice of scanning electron microscopy analysis and data reduction.
> Experience with field emission sources is a plus. Knowledge of
> geological and planetary mineralogy is a plus, as is the ability to
> interpret analyses in a geologically meaningful way. Good computer
> skills are essential. Because the employee will often be working with
> students, and others who may be unfamiliar with electron beam
> instruments, good people skills are required. Must meet eligibility
> requirements to receive and maintain a DoD security clearance (i.e.,
> almost certainly needs to be a US citizen).
>
> Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States. Its downtown
> skyline has been ranked one of the top ten in the world. Houston's
> economy has a broad industrial base in the energy, manufacturing,
> aeronautics, transportation, and health care sectors; only New York City
> is home to more Fortune 500 headquarters. The Port of Houston ranks
> first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage. Strong
> performance in energy sectors has fuelled the Houston economy in recent
> years and low housing costs have kept the ongoing housing slump largely
> at bay. The city has a multicultural population and hosts a museum
> district, a year-round theater district, the internationally-renowned
> Texas Medical Center, 337 parks, four public and three private
> universities, and a number of professional sports teams. It enjoys a
> subtropical climate and the nearby coastline is a haven for bird
> watching, sailing, and fishing.
