Research Scientist

Location: Michigan | Full-time | On-site

We are looking for a Research Scientist to join a growing R&D laboratory focused on advanced materials characterization, imaging and biomaterials research.

This is a hands-on role suited to a scientist with a strong academic background and practical experience operating advanced imaging and characterization equipment.

Key Requirements:

• PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Biomaterials, Oral Health Sciences or a related discipline.
• 2+ years' relevant research experience preferred. MS candidates with substantial independent imaging experience will also be considered.
• Strong hands-on experience with TEM/STEM or MicroCT/NanoCT .
• Experience with specimen preparation, imaging acquisition and quantitative data analysis.
• Understanding of imaging artefacts, reconstruction, segmentation and experimental controls.
• Experience working with hard, brittle, mineralised or biological specimens .
• Independent experience using major shared-facility instrumentation.

Additional experience in any of the following would be advantageous: SEM, FIB, EDS, electron diffraction, Raman, FTIR, XRD, SAXS/WAXS, NanoSIMS, nanoindentation or atom probe tomography.

Experience with enamel, dentin, bone, biomaterials, biomineralisation or remineralisation would be particularly relevant.

If you're a hands-on imaging/materials scientist looking for an opportunity to work across advanced characterization and biomaterials research, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
