Job Description
Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive. Review more information at BNL Benefits Program
The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLSII) at Brookhaven National Laboratory seeks a leader for the Spectroscopy Program within the Physical Sciences & Research Operations Division. The Spectroscopy Program is comprised of several beamlines that provide advanced spectroscopy capabilities to a wide diverse scientific community. The Program beamlines allow researchers to use xrays to interrogate structure kinetics and reactivity in a wide variety of materials in complex environments. The advanced spectroscopic tools are often used for insitu studies of materials under operating processing or environmental conditions relevant to diverse areas such as energy health microelectronics geology environment and planetary sciences. Using various electron and photonbased spectroscopic techniques researchers can study materials and complex chemical processes under different environmental and operating conditions. This offers a powerful capability to correlate chemical and electronic information with materials functionality which is crucial for establishing principles for novel materials design and the optimization of operating conditions.
POSITION DESCRIPTION
As Spectroscopy Program Lead the selected candidate will lead a diverse team of scientists and highly skilled technical staff in charge of operating a number of advanced Xray spectroscopy beamlines at NSLSII.
