color:black'>The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is seeking an operator
for the high resolution neutron powder diffractometer with responsibilities
covering day-to-day operation of several sample preparation laboratories. The
NCNR is a national user facility that develops and makes available to the
general scientific community advanced neutron instrumentation. The
high-resolution neutron powder diffractometer enables the determination of
atomic and magnetic structures of solid-state materials though Rietveld or
other methods of analysis. One quarter of the instrument time is allocated to a
"mail-in" service, where scientists with successful peer-reviewed
proposals directly send samples for measurement, and the resulting data is
returned for analysis. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
