Division

The Materials and Structural Analysis Division (MSD) Electron Microscopy (EM) 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.

Join us, and you’ll be part of a global community of innovators and researchers who are shaping the future of science and technology.

Position Summary

We are looking for a highly motivated and curious intern to join our core electron microscopy application development team. This is an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, including 4D Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (4D-STEM), Lorentz microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (EELS).
In this role, you will contribute to the processing and analysis of large-scale microscopy datasets and help advance data reconstruction methods for ptychography, as well as strain, phase, orientation, and magnetic mapping. Working alongside experienced scientists and engineers, you will help develop and refine data workflows and algorithms that enable entirely new ways of visualizing and understanding materials at the nanoscale.

This internship offers a unique opportunity to experience the intersection of cutting-edge technology, data science, and fundamental research—while making meaningful contributions to the future of electron microscopy and materials characterization.
