INSTRUMENT SCIENTIST POSITION

[John Copley]

DISK CHOPPER TIME-OF-FLIGHT SPECTROMETER INSTRUMENT SCIENTIST
NIST CENTER FOR NEUTRON RESEARCH
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY

The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR), at the National Institute
of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland, seeks expressions
of interest in a potential position as an instrument scientist to assist
with and participate in the scientific program at the NCNR's Disk
Chopper time-of-flight Spectrometer (DCS).  We expect to be looking for
a scientist with a Ph.D. in experimental physical chemistry, chemical
engineering, condensed matter physics or materials science who has
studied dynamical phenomena using scattering techniques or nuclear
magnetic resonance.  Responsibilities would include assisting visiting
researchers with experiments and data reduction, testing and calibrating
the spectrometer, and participating in instrument and equipment
development projects.  The position would also provide opportunities for
independent and collaborative research using the DCS and other cold
neutron and thermal neutron instruments at the NCNR, including the
backscattering and spin echo spectrometers.  Taken together, these
instruments provide the widest dynamic range for cold neutron
spectroscopy in the U.S. The initial appointment would be for two years
with the possibility of a one- or two-year extension.  The salary range
would be $45,000 to $60,000, depending on qualifications and experience.
