[Neutron] Software Engineer

[Barker, Buffie M.]

The Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites applications for a Software Engineer.  With the United States' highest flux reactor-based neutron source for condensed matter research (the High Flux Isotope Reactor) and the world's most intense pulsed, accelerator-based neutron source (the Spallation Neutron Source), ORNL is becoming the world's foremost center for neutron science. Research at these facilities encompasses the physical, chemical, materials, biological, and medical sciences and will provide opportunities for up to 2000 researchers each year from industry, research facilities, and universities all over the world.
