Beamline Scientist-surface Diffraction Beamline We now have an opportunity for a Beamline scientist to join our I07 beamline. The I07 beamline is designed for grazing incidence diffraction and scattering experiments. The beamline uses an intense, high energy x-ray beam (6-30 keV) to study the structure and morphology of solid and liquid surfaces and interfaces through the techniques of surface x-ray diffraction, x-ray reflectivity and grazing incidence small angle x-ray scattering. Diamond Light Source is undergoing an upgrade that will deliver a 4th generation synchrotron, the position will provide the opportunity to exploit this state-of-the-art facility as well as contributing in potential beamline upgrades and defining/leading some of the development projects.

APS Beamline Technical Systems Engineer Provides technical support for synchrotron based X-ray experiments at the Life Science Collaborative Access Team (LS-CAT) at Argonne National Laboratory’s Advanced Photon Source. LS-CAT is a highly productive molecular crystallography beamline requiring someone to help support the current infrastructure. This a very exciting time with the APS having recently completed a major upgrade. LS-CAT needs to implement new equipment and controls to take advantage of the vastly improved X-ray source.

Laser/Optical Physicist (DCS-CAT) To learn about the Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS) and this position, please visit the DCS website. The successful candidate should enjoy hands-on work and problem solving in a fast-paced, research environment and will work with a team of physicists responsible for the operation and maintenance of the DCS 100J laser System to ensure optimal performance, develop new capabilities, and conduct state-of-the-art scientific experiments on behalf of users. Additionally, many of the experiments performed at the DCS utilize a wide variety of lasers that are integral to characterizing/understanding the shock compressed state of materials and wide array of optical detection and analysis approaches are utilized. While the primary responsibility of this position will be for the 100J laser, the successful candidate will also be expected to operate and maintain additional optical systems, as needed for a broad range of user experiments. | April 24, 2024 |
Laser/Optical Engineer (DCS-CAT) We are seeking to hire a strongly self-motivated, talented Laser Optical Engineer to support the research activities at a first-of-a-kind experimental user facility: The Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS) at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory. The successful candidate will perform hands-on work and operate/maintain the 100J laser system to ensure optimal performance and development of new capabilities. The DCS research activities involve state-of-the-art, dynamic compression experiments that utilize x-ray and optical measurements on nanosecond time-scales to understand the response of materials under extreme thermodynamic conditions.
