Beginning of message text:

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is seeking a Deputy Center Leader for the Lujan
Neutron Scattering Center. The Lujan Center is a national user facility for neutron scattering
supported by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of the Department of Energy’s Office of
Science. The Lujan Center is also directly used for research supporting the National Nuclear
Security Administration’s (NNSA) national security mission. The selected candidate will support
the center leader in leading and management of an organization of about 50 researchers and
staff to execute a portfolio of close to $15M per year, principally from BES but also from NNSA,
Laboratory Directed Research and Development, and other sponsors. The Deputy Center
Leader is a member of the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LANSCE) Management Team
and will work with the LANSCE Facility Director and other research leaders at LANSCE in setting
scientific and budgetary priorities.

The successful candidate will be a visible and effective champion for neutron scattering science
in the U.S., partnering closely with Spallation Neutron Source and High Flux Isotope Reactor
leadership at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the NIST Center for Neutron Research, as well
as with BES’s photon sources and nanoscience research centers, to advance and grow the U.S.
neutron scattering science community. He or she will promote collaborations with other LANL
User Facilities, such as the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology (CINT) and the National High
Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL). Beyond technical leadership and management, the Deputy
Center Leader will be expected to manage, lead and develop people, recruit and retain critical
skills in the workforce, and support diversity and affirmative action. In addition, he or she will be
expected to promote safe and secure facility operations, and the fiscal management of all Lujan
Center functions.

Located in northern New Mexico, Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is a multidisciplinary
research institution engaged in strategic science on behalf of national security. LANL enhances
national security by ensuring the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, developing
technologies to reduce threats from weapons of mass destruction, and solving problems related
to energy, environment, infrastructure, health, and global security concerns.

The job is posted as Vacancy, IRC18912.
