[John Copley]

*Instrument Scientist
*NIST Center for Neutron Research <hxxp://www.ncnr.nist.gov/>_

_The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR <hxxp://www.ncnr.nist.gov/>) 
is seeking candidates for an Instrument Scientist position at the HFBS 
backscattering spectrometer 
<hxxp://www.ncnr.nist.gov/instruments/hfbs/>.  This position is within 
the Chemical Physics of Materials team which also manages the DCS 
time-of-flight spectrometer <hxxp://www.ncnr.nist.gov/instruments/dcs>, 
the NSE neutron spin echo spectrometer 
<hxxp://www.ncnr.nist.gov/instruments/nse/>, and the FANS filter 
analyzer spectrometer <hxxp://www.ncnr.nist.gov/instruments/fans/>.A 
doctorate in condensed matter physics, chemistry, materials science, or 
a related discipline is required, and experience in neutron scattering 
or related techniques is desirable but not essential.  The successful 
candidate will be expected to assist users of the HFBS spectrometer, to 
participate in ongoing and future instrument upgrades, to contribute to 
the day-to-day running of the facility, and to perform their own 
independent research program, taking advantage of the wide range of 
neutron instrumentation available at the NCNR.Appointments are typically 
for an initial two years with the possibility of extension.Salary is in 
the range from $70,000 to $80,000, depending on qualifications and 
experience.
