Scientific Associate

Job description

The National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) is a DOE-funded scientific user facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Spectroscopy Program within the Physical Sciences & Research Operations Division provides advanced X-ray spectroscopy tools to study complex materials under real-world conditions, with a focus on understanding and improving materials used in energy storage, catalysis, and other applications involving non-ambient and complex dynamic environments. The program includes four NSLS-II operated beamlines, as well as three partner beamlines stewarded by NIST covering soft, tender, and hard X-ray spectroscopy. Position Description: The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is seeking a Scientific Associate to support the Spectroscopy Program. This program encompasses seven beamlines, four NSLS-II beamlines (IOS, ISS, QAS, TES) and three NIST partner beamlines (BMM, SST-1, SST-2), offering comprehensive in situ spectroscopy capabilities spanning soft to hard x-rays. The program is also advancing cutting-edge techniques, including high-throughput and autonomous beamline operation as well as mechanism-driven materials opti...
