corrosion using the small angle neutron scattering (LQD) and reflectometry
(SPEAR)
instruments at MLNSC and, if necessary, spectrometers at other neutron
scattering centers. The
successful candidate will be responsible for developing and maintaining a
collaborative effort in
SBSS research with Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque. This individual
will assist the
instrument scientists on LQD and SPEAR to carry out experiments. This

assistance to users,
oversight of instrument maintenance, and participation in the planning and
implementation of
spectrometer upgrades.

Required Skills, Knowledge, Abilities:

Demonstrated record of accomplishment in the application of small angle
x-ray and/or neutron
scattering and reflectometry techniques to the study of microstructures,
interfaces, as
evidenced by publications, reports, awards, and recommendations.
Demonstrated expertise in
the design, construction and operation of neutron and/or x-ray
instrumentation. Demonstrated
knowledge of software development for data acquisition and analysis.
