Job Description

Applications Development Scientist Transmission Electron Microscopes

Our Mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. As one team of 100,000+ colleagues, we share a common set of values - Integrity, Intensity, Innovation, and Involvement - working together to accelerate research, solve complex scientific challenges, drive technological innovation, and support patients in need.

Innovative materials play essential roles in safety, clean energy, transportation, human health, and industrial productivity. To fuel continued innovation, researchers want to deepen their understanding of the physical and chemical properties of materials (morphological, structural, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical). Whether discovering new materials, solving analytical problems, improving processes, or assuring product quality, electron microscopy can provide insight at all scales and modalities. The discoveries resulting from materials science research help enhance researchers’ ability to successfully correlate structural properties with functional performance. In turn, this insight helps commercial enterprises innovate products and processes to gain important time-to-market and cost advantages.

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, Diversity & Inclusion is vital to the future success of our organization. It is not just something we do; it is who we are. It enables our colleagues to openly share the wide range of perspectives they represent, creating an environment where differences are truly valued, authenticity is a state-of-being, and everyone feels they belong and can do their best work.

Location/Division

The Materials and Structural Analysis Division (MSD) Electron Microscopy business, enables customers to find meaningful answers to questions that accelerate breakthrough discoveries which can ultimately change the world. The MSD EM business designs, manufactures, and supports the broadest range of high-performance microscopy solutions that provide images and answers in the micro-, nano-, and picometer scales.

Worldwide Electron Microscopy employees, using hardware, software and applications expertise in the electron, ion, and light microscopy fields, significantly help guide our customers' pursuit of discovery and resolution to global challenges in material sciences, life sciences and electronics around the world.
