American Nano Society
Research Associate [Nanofabrication]
American Nano Society, Menlo Park, California, United States, 94029
Overview
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a multipurpose laboratory for photon science, accelerator, astrophysics, and particle physics research, has an employment opportunity for a Research Associate in the Nano-X Division. The position focuses on nanofabrication and x-ray optics, with work at both the synchrotron at SSRL and the free electron laser at LCLS. The Research Associate will develop new nanofabrication techniques and new optics designs, both experimentally and using computational tools, with extensive hands-on work in a clean-room environment. This is a 2-year termed appointment. Assignment duration is contingent upon project needs, funding, and performance. Applicants must provide evidence of either a recently completed PhD degree or confirmation of completion of the PhD degree requirements prior to starting. Applicants should include a cover letter, a statement of research area including a brief summary of accomplishments, a curriculum vitae, and a list of publications. Letters of recommendation or names to contact for reference are useful but not required. SLAC is a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory operated by Stanford University and based in Menlo Park, CA. Due to COVID-19-related curtailment of on-site activities, job duties may be performed from home until full site access is restored. Responsibilities
Develop new nanofabrication capabilities for x-ray optics Design new x-ray optics for a variety of applications at both synchrotrons and free electron lasers Publish and present research results Other duties may also be assigned To Be Successful In This Position You Will Bring
Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or related field Experience in nanofabrication, specifically electron beam lithography, scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemistry Experience in x-ray optics Ability to adapt schedule and solution complexity to meet fixed deadlines with general guidance Exceptional communication skills and ability to interface with administrative, scientific, mechanical, and electronics staff Ability to work well in a fast-paced research and development team Strong conceptual and problem-solving skills and the ability to identify and recommend solutions Excellent organizational skills and the ability to synthesize complex technical and scientific information In Addition, Preferred Requirements Include
Experience in performing experiments at synchrotrons and/or free electron laser facilities Development of simulation and modeling tools for x-ray optics SLAC Competencies
