The NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is seeking
highly motivated candidates for two staff positions in the sample environment
team. These positions require a bachelor's degree or higher from an
accredited college or university in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science,
Physical Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering, with initial salary in the range
$43,000-$55,000 depending on qualifications and experience. One position
will focus on assisting staff and users with their neutron scattering
experiments that utilize a wide range of sophisticated computer controlled
sample environment equipment, including low temperature cryostats, furnaces,
superconducting magnets, and high pressure systems. Responsibilities
will range from interaction with guest researchers and setup of equipment to
extending present sample environment capabilities and developing new
systems. The second position will focus on providing optically-pumped
polarized helium-3 cells, spin flippers, and guide fields at the neutron
instruments to carry out polarized neutron scattering measurements, as well as
extending our present polarized neutron capabilities. Both staff members
are expected to become proficient in sample environment equipment as well as
helium-3 polarizers so that they can carry out
responsibilities in both areas as needs arise.
