We are looking for a technician or engineer to operate and maintain electron microscopes, and to contribute to research projects that improve or develop electron microscope technology and that apply electron microscopy to study biological samples. The candidate will work in a motivated international research environment with teams performing advanced research using electron microscopes.

Your responsibilities will include
• Operate transmission electron microscopes and/or focused ion beam scanning electron microscopes
• Ensure that the microscopes are in good working order, interacting with other staff and company field service engineers to ensure this
• Help users to operate the microscopes
• Take part in research projects aimed at using or making technical improvements to microscopes
As the ideal candidate you will hold a technical degree in materials science, electrical engineering, physics or chemistry or a combination of these disciplines. You will be proficient in operating and working with complex equipment and exhibit a keen interest in understanding and performing the operation of such equipment and the associated troubleshooting. You will have a good working knowledge of English and strong interpersonal skills.

The salary level will be according to TVöD (Bund) (public salary scale). The initial appointment is for two years with the possibility for extension.

The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) in Martinsried is one of the world's leading research institutions in the fields of biochemistry, cell and structural biology and biomedical research. With approximately 30 scientific departments and research groups and about 750 employees, the MPIB is one of the largest institutes of the Max Planck Society.

The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of persons with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified persons, and seeks to increase the number of women in areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
