BEAMLINE SCIENTIST, HP-CAT, Carnegie Institution of Washington


BEAMLINE ASSOCIATE
HP-CAT, Carnegie Institution of Washington

The High Pressure Collaborative Access Team (HPCAT) invites applications for two beamline associate positions at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory, USA . The HPCAT operates sector 16 at the APS, which has been developed with multiple synchrotron x-ray diffraction and spectroscopy probes dedicated for high pressure research. Currently, there are four simultaneously operational beamlines at the HPCAT, addressing scientific problems in multidisciplinary fields.

Responsibilities of a beamline associate include performing and maintaining daily and scheduled HPCAT beamline operation, maintaining and operating HPCAT laboratory and other supporting equipments, keeping necessary tools and supplies in work order, and participating in research teams in developing and integrating component models and controls at HPCAT.

Applicants must have a M.S. degree, or a university degree with at least three years of work experience. The successful candidate is expected to have good knowledge of engineering concepts and procedures, and good skills in working in a research team environment. Excellent relevant computer and network control skills are desirable. Candidates must have good verbal and written communication skills, and be able to work effectively both as a team player and independently.

Interested candidates should send a detailed CV, and the names and addresses of three references to Dr. Ho-kwang Mao (mao@gl.ciw.edu), Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution of Washington, 5251 Broad Branch Road NW, Washington DC, 20015, USA.
