Senior Research Associate – Anomalous Small Angle Scattering (ASAXS)

Job description

Description The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering is seeking a full time Senior Research Associate (SRA) to become part of NSF’s ChemMatCARS. ChemMatCARS, affiliated with the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME), the University of Chicago and funded by NSF, is a national user facility for frontier research in chemistry and materials science using synchrotron x-rays. ChemMatCARS is located at Sector 15 of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Anomalous Small Angle Scattering (ASAXS) is one of the most powerful synchrotron X-ray techniques for element-specific structural study of soft matter systems. It is indispensable for understanding quantitative structural heterogeneities in soft matter systems and nanomaterials. The successful candidate will be expected to lead an ASAXS user program that will serve a general scientific user community. The candidate will be expected to originate and engage in collaborative efforts in ASAXS studies of a variety of soft matter systems with ChemMatCARS users. These efforts include, but are not limited to, conducting synchrotron experiments with users at ChemMatCARS, analyzing A...
