The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is seeking candidates for an
instrument scientist's position in Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS).
A recent Ph.D. in experimental Condensed Matter or Materials Physics,
Materials Science, Biophysics, Chemistry or Materials Engineering with
experience in microstructure characterization using x-ray or neutron
diffraction techniques is sought to share the responsibilities associated
with the operation of two, 30 meter SANS instruments.  These
responsibilities include assisting visiting researchers in conducting
experiments and reducing data, instrument testing and calibration, and
participating in instrument and equipment development projects, including
software development.  These duties are intended to occupy no more than
two-thirds of the instrument scientist's time to enable him/her to conduct
independent or collaborative research using the SANS instruments and other
facilities at the NCNR.  Appointment will initially be for two years with
the possibility of extension for up to an additional two years.  Salary is
in the range from $40,000 to $50,000 depending on qualifications and
