标 题: research scientist position at NIST (open for all nationalities)
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Mon Mar 17 16:54:23 2014, 美东)
The Macromolecular and Microstructure Sciences (MMS) team at the NIST Center
for Neutron Research (NCNR) is seeking a research scientist with a strong
record of creativity and achievement in any area of nano and microscale
science or instrumentation science. The candidate should complement and
expand current scientific activities of the group. The NCNR is a world
leader in neutron sciences with 28 operating instruments serving more than
2200 research participants/year resulting in 300 scientific publications/
year (annual reports available here). The MMS team is responsible for
operating two 30-m Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS - NG3 and NG7)
instruments and one ultra-SANS (USANS) instrument, the design of a new very-
SANS (VSANS) instrument, and helping staff and support the nSoft industrial
consortium 10m SANS. Combined, these instruments probe structural features
in materials ranging from 1nm to 20,000 nm. Besides the wide array of
elastic and inelastic neutron scattering instruments, the Center operates a
variety of complementary facilities, from X-ray diffractometers to optical
spectrometers, and has access to a wide range of other state-of-the art
equipment through partnerships with other NIST labs, particularly the Center
for Nanoscale Science and Technology and the Institute for Bioscience and
Biotechnology Research. The team is further assisted by an outstanding cadre
of NCNR support staff including engineers, mechanical technicians, the
sample environment team, and laboratory support personnel.
The position requires a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering or
related field. Small angle scattering experience is highly desirable but
not required. Strong preference will be given to candidates with
postdoctoral experience. Experience in developing neutron instrumentation
components and data analysis software, particularly using C and/or python
will be an advantage. Special consideration will be given to soft matter
scientists and rheologists.

Applicant should have the leadership required to build a thriving
interdisciplinary/collaborative research program and a demonstrated ability/
interest in developing new instrumentation/new techniques. Candidates must
have the ability to effectively communicate results to a wide variety of
audiences, and an understanding of the critical value of consulting broadly,
inside and outside the organization, to problem solving. A commitment to
teaching is desirable as the candidate will be expected to teach or co-teach
in summer schools, workshops, tutorials and have the opportunity to advise
or co-advise summer undergraduates, postdocs, and possibly graduate students
, as well as help teach university courses.
Aside from conducting a research program in a relevant area, core
responsibilities include helping visiting researchers conduct experiments,
participating in various instrument activities including maintenance and
upgrades, and developing new scientific tools such as modeling software or
novel sample environments. Initial appointment is for up to four years.
Salary is in the range from $70,000 to $80,000 depending on qualifications
and experience. The position is open continuously until filled; early
application recommended.
Expressions of interest along with a resume and research plan should be sent
(preferably electronically) to:
