[SA_Scat] Open Position in Small Angle Neutron Scattering

[Leighton Coates]

Hi All

We currently have a staff scientist job opening in our organization,
below are the job posting details along with a link to the full
position description. Please note job applications must be
submitted through the link provided.

Overview:
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is seeking a Small Angle Neutron
Scattering (SANS) instrument development scientist for the Second
Target Station (STS) project. The STS is a >$1Billion, Department of
Energy project to be constructed at the ORNL Spallation Neutron Source
(SNS).  The STS will provide entirely new capabilities for the study
of a broad range of materials with neutron scattering and support
thousands of users from the physical, materials, and applied sciences
and industry. The science capabilities provided by the instrument
suite at the STS will complement those of the two existing DOE Office
of Science neutron scattering user facilities at ORNL, the First
Target Station (FTS) of the SNS, and the High Flux Isotope Reactor
(HFIR). The STS will deliver the highest peak brightness of cold
neutrons in the world, which together with advances in neutron optics,
instrumentation, and detectors, will ensure US leadership in neutron
scattering for decades to come. The goal of the STS instrument systems
group is to construct an initial suite of STS neutron instruments with
transformative new science capabilities.

Purpose:
The STS SANS Instrument development scientist will work closely with
the user community, other instrument scientists, technology experts,
engineers, and project specialists to develop the science case,
physics and technical designs, scope, cost and schedule associated
with new SANS concepts for the STS. This position will support the
design of SANS based neutron instrument concepts through the
application and development of advanced instrument simulations capable
of modeling fine details of representative real world samples. After
selection for construction, this position will lead the team
responsible for the final design, fabrication, installation, and
testing of an instrument at STS. This position has the primary
responsibility to ensure that the scientific requirements established
for the new instrument are enabled by the instrument physics design
and achieved in its construction. Engagement in individual and
collaborative scientific research focusing on the neutron scattering
capabilities in combination with other unique resources ORNL has to
offer, and the publication of scientific results is expected.
