Brookhaven National Laboratory seeks a lead beamline scientist for the Inner Shell Spectroscopy (ISS) beamline to advance its user science program, enhance beamline capabilities, and ensure it remains state-of-the-art for studying complex materials.
Requirements
- Considerable knowledge of x-ray spectroscopy fundamentals and data analysis
- Strong publication record in using X-ray spectroscopy techniques
- Minimum 3 years demonstrated successful experience with synchrotron beamline operation and user support
- Demonstrated successful experience working with high heat load synchrotron beamline and/or cryo-cooled double-crystal monochromator
- Demonstrated successful experience with in-situ and operando measurement
- Demonstrated success in the design, installation and/or commissioning of a synchrotron radiation beamline
- Working knowledge of x-ray optics, x-ray detectors, and/or beamline control systems (e.g., EPICS)
Responsibilities
- Refine and evolve the mission and technical scope of the ISS beamline by interacting effectively with the scientific user community and with the Spectroscopy Program and NSLS-II colleagues
- Grow the ISS beamline’s scientific program in line with the NSLS-II strategic plan and support the facility mission with a focus on x-ray spectroscopy
- Lead the safe operation of the ISS beamline and provide oversight of staff and users working at the beamline
- Supervise a team of beamline scientists assigned to the ISS beamline
- Propose and manage the ISS operating budget, beam time allocation and schedule
- Oversee the design, implementation, maintenance and upgrade of the beamline equipment, and guide the beamline’s progress with advanced data management and analysis
- Collaborate with NSLS-II staff, BNL scientists, and/or external researchers to develop an independent scientific or technical research and development program that leverages or enhances the unique capabilities of the ISS beamline
Other
- Excellent written and communication skills
- Ability to interact effectively in a team environment with a diverse group of scientists, engineers, technical staff, and users
- Brookhaven National Laboratory requires all non-badged personnel including visitors to produce a REAL-ID or REAL-ID compliant documentation to access Brookhaven National Laboratory
- BSA employees are subject to restrictions related to participation in Foreign Government Talent Recruitment Programs
