[Neutron] Instrument Scientist Position

[Dan Neumann]

INSTRUMENT SCIENTIST POSITION

 

NIST Center for Neutron Research

National Institute of Standards and Technology

 

The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is seeking candidates for a
position as an Instrument Scientist for our backscattering spectrometer.
This instrument is one of a set of spectrometers at the NCNR that combined,
give researchers access to dynamical phenomena spanning seven orders of
magnitude in time. In particular, the NCNR backscattering instrument, which
has a resolution of about 1 meV, enables scientists to perform studies of
diffusive and reorientational motions of atoms and molecules in materials
and of relaxational processes in polymers and biomaterials.  

 

The position requires a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science,
Condensed Matter Physics, or Chemistry along with good communication skills.
Experience in inelastic scattering methods or in other probes of dynamical
processes in materials is highly desirable.  Responsibilities include
cooperating with visiting researchers in conducting experiments and reducing
data and participating in equipment and software development projects.
Instrument Scientists are also encouraged to develop their own research
programs using the backscattering spectrometer or any of the other
facilities at the NCNR.  Appointment will initially be for two years with
the possibility of extension for up to two additional years.  Salary will be
in the range from $53,000 to $65,000 depending on qualifications and
experience.  

 

Expressions of interest along with a resume should be sent to:
