TEM Scientist – Automation & Data Workflows

Scientific and Research Fellow, Software, Material analysis, Microscopy

Eurofins Scientific is an international life sciences company, providing a unique range of analytical testing services to clients across multiple industries, to make life and our environment safer, healthier and more sustainable. From the food you eat, to the water you drink, to the medicines you rely on, Eurofins works with the biggest companies in the world to ensure the products they supply are safe, their ingredients are authentic and labelling is accurate.

Eurofins believes it is a global leader in food, environmental, pharmaceutical and cosmetics products testing and in agroscience CRO services. It is also one of the global independent market leaders in certain testing and laboratory services for genomics, discovery pharmacology, forensics, CDMO, advanced material sciences and in the support of clinical studies.

In over 35 years, Eurofins has grown from one laboratory in Nantes, France to 61,000 staff across a decentralised and entrepreneurial network of ca. 900 laboratories in 61 countries. Eurofins companies offer a portfolio of over 200,000 analytical methods to evaluate the safety, identity, composition, authenticity, origin, traceability and purity of biological substances and products.

In 2025, Eurofins generated total revenues of EUR 7.296 billion, and has been among the best performing stocks in Europe over the past 20 years.

Eurofins EAG Laboratories is seeking a hands‑on Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Scientist who also has strong experience building automation, scripting, or data workflows for microscopy data
.

This is a specialized, hybrid role combining advanced TEM operation and applied automation/data science in a production laboratory environment.

• Hands‑on experience operating TEM/STEM systems for materials characterization
• AND hands‑on experience building or implementing automation, scripting, or data workflows (e.g., Python, Digital Micrograph, ImageJ, or similar tools)

Candidates with experience in only one of these areas will not be considered.

The Scientist will collaborate closely with engineers, scientists, and operations teams to translate laboratory requirements into practical, scalable automation solutions and data workflows.

This role is centered on materials science applications within an analytical laboratory setting. The position requires experience aligned with materials characterization and non‑biological systems, which are most relevant to the work performed. Responsibilities include a combination of hands‑on laboratory execution and applied programming, rather than work that is solely research‑or theory‑based.

Work is conducted in a client‑driven analytical services environment, requiring solutions that are practical, scalable, and reproducible.

• Design, build, and implement automation workflows directly on S/TEM systems (data acquisition, instrument control, and workflow scripting)
• Develop and maintain automated pipelines for TEM data collection and analysis
• Perform image processing (segmentation, enhancement, measurement, visualization) on 2D and 3D datasets
• Apply computer vision, statistics, and machine learning to microscopy and analytical data
• Work with multi‑modal materials characterization data (TEM, SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, RBS, etc.)
• Improve throughput, repeatability, and data quality of TEM‑based services
• Build tools for data processing, feature extraction, and exploratory analysis
• Partner with lab teams to translate real‑world analytical problems into automated solutions
• Support S/TEM operation and data collection, including EDS/EELS where…
