Lead Scientist - SSRL Nano-X Research
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, California, United States, 94029
Overview
Lead Scientist - SSRL Nano-X Research at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The SLAC Nanofabrication Facility (Nano-X), within the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), seeks a Lead Scientist with expertise in designing, simulating, fabricating, and utilizing novel x-ray optics. The role requires an in-depth understanding of synchrotron and free electron laser experimental methods including instrument and optics design, fabrication, experimental planning and data analysis. The Lead Scientist will develop, execute, and expand current and new x-ray scientific programs in x-ray optics, x-ray imaging, and x-ray sciences. Hands-on work in a clean room environment, x-ray experimentation, and simulation/analysis programming are central parts of the job. Work will be performed jointly at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Responsibilities
Develop novel optics design, simulation, fabrication, and utilization. Develop, execute, and expand current and new x-ray scientific programs in x-ray optics, x-ray imaging, and x-ray sciences at both SSRL and LCLS. Hands-on work in a cleanroom and light source instrument environment. Qualifications
Ph.D. in physics, engineering, materials sciences, chemistry, or related fields and at least 8 years of experience with x-ray optics design, simulation, fabrication, testing, and application. Experience in designing and building x-ray instrumentation, including optical and mechanical components, at both x-ray free electron lasers and synchrotrons. Record of initiating and leading scientific research projects in x-ray sciences, x-ray imaging, and/or x-ray optics. Research/publication record commensurate with level of work experience. Excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to convey complex technical concepts. Ability to work and communicate effectively with a diverse population. Ability to collaborate across organizations and manage/lead cross-functional efforts. SLAC Employee Competencies
