[Audrey L. Archuleta]

Summary: The Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at LANSCE is a high-power 
pulsed spallation neutron source with the mission to support a national 
user program in neutron scattering. We are seeking a highly motivated 
individual to work full time as the instrument scientist on Pharos, an 
inelastic chopper spectrometer used to study fundamental excitations in 
materials. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the 
day-to-day operation of the Pharos spectrometer at the Lujan Center, 
including user program, instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis and 
sample environments. The instrument scientist will supervise instrument 
assistants, instrument technician, postdocs, students, users, and computer 
and electronic support personnel when they are working on Pharos. User 
program services include assisting users with the set-up and operation of 
neutron experiments as well as designing and developing software to assist 
with experiment automation, data processing, analysis and modeling. Other 
important duties are overseeing the development and maintenance of 
instrument and software documentation and acting as a subject matter expert 
regarding all aspects of the Pharos program. On-call work and travel are 
required. Required Skills: This position requires extensive experience with 
inelastic neutron scattering applications and instrumentation. 
Additionally, familiarity with data acquisition and analysis of data for 
inelastic chopper spectrometers is essential for successful performance in 
this position. The successful applicant will have an established history of 
functioning as a member of a team and the ability to work and communicate 
with visiting scientists. Good problem-solving skills are required and 
should be supported by recommendations. Must have a demonstrated effective 
interpersonal skills and strong and oral and written communication skills. 
Demonstrated commitment to safety and health, including minimization of the 
environmental impact of activities is required. Desired Skills: Experience 
with inelastic chopper spectrometers, preferably Pharos itself. Experience 
and skills may be supported by a strong record of refereed publications, 
honors, awards, grade-point average and/or by letters of recommendation. 
The ability to obtain a DOE security clearance is desirable but not 
immediately required Education: Applicants with a doctorate in physics, 
materials science, chemistry, computer science, or equivalent experience 
who seek a challenging position at a state-of-the-art neutron scattering 
facility are encouraged to apply. Notes to Applicants: For questions about 
this job, please call (505) 665-0630. For questions about the status, call 
(505) 667-9303.  To Apply:

Summary: The Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at LANSCE is a high-power 
pulsed spallation neutron source with the mission to support a national 
user program in neutron scattering. We are seeking a highly motivated 
individual to work full time as a spallation neutron physicist. The 
successful candidate will be responsible for research into neutron 
production, transport, and flux in Lujan Center targets and instruments. 
The candidate will be expected to work closely with the Lujan Center's 
spallation physics team, including visitors, students and postdocs. User 
program services may include assisting users with energy spectra and time 
distribution questions about the neutron source, measurements of these 
quantities, and acting as a subject matter expert regarding all aspects of 
the spallation physics program. Other important duties include overseeing 
the development and maintenance of computational hardware, software, and 
documentation. On-call work and travel are required. Required Skills: This 
position requires experience with nuclear physics in the spallation neutron 
area. Familiarity with Monte Carlo techniques for calculating neutron flux 
is essential. Experience with spallation neutron target-moderator system 
design is required. The successful applicant will have an established 
history of functioning as a member of a team and the ability to work and 
communicate with visiting scientists. Good problem-solving skills are 
required and should be supported by recommendations. Must have demonstrated 
interpersonal skills and strong oral and written communication skills. 
Demonstrated commitment to safety and health, including minimization of the 
environmental impact of activities is required. Desired Skills: Experience 
with neutron scattering instruments and parallel computing are desired. 
Familiarity with researchers and their issues in non-LANL neutron 
facilities is also desired. Experience and skills may be supported by a 
strong record of refereed publications, honors, awards, grade-point average 
and/or by letters of recommendation. Candidates should be familiar with 
scattering instrumentation, preferably inelastic spectrometers. 
Additionally, familiarity with data acquisition and analysis of data of 
pulsed neutron energy spectra and time distributions is desired for 
successful performance in this position. Education: Applicants with an 
advanced degree in nuclear physics, mathematics, computer science, or 
related technical field or equivalent work experience who seek a 
challenging position at a state-of-the-art neutron scattering facility are 
encouraged to apply. Notes to Applicants: For questions about this job,

Summary: The Lujan Neutron Scattering Center at LANSCE is a high-power 
pulsed spallation neutron source with the mission to support a national 
user program in neutron scattering. We are seeking a highly motivated 
individual to work full time as part of a team investigating 
crystallographic changes in solids during various types of parametric 
studies (temperature, pressure, stress, chemistry etc.) using neutron 
diffraction. The successful candidate will assist with the operation of the 
"HIgh Pressure Preferred Orientation" spectrometer HIPPO at the Lujan 
Center. The responsibility of the successful candidate will include the 
day-to-day operation of the HIPPO instrumentation and its sample
