Job Description
The Advanced Light Source (ALS, https://als.lbl.gov/) Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab, https://www.lbl.gov/) is seeking a Nanoprobe Development Postdoctoral researcher to develop a tender x-ray fluorescence nanoprobe microscope. Working within the Microscopy Program in the Photon Science Operations group, this researcher will collaborate on the design, implementation, commissioning and initial scientific use of a new scanning microscope to be installed at an existing microscopy beamline. This work is part of an extensive program of research and development in preparation for the major upgrade to the ALS accelerator called ALS-U.
The Advanced Light Source is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national scientific user facility whose excellent scientific reputation, expert staff, and capabilities in the soft x-ray, hard X-ray, and infrared regimes attract over 1,500 academic and industrial users each year in disciplines spanning physical, chemical, materials, biological, energy, and Earth sciences. It is one of five Berkeley Lab user facilities that serve a combined 11,000 users annually. The co-location of these user facilities – including the Molecular Foundry Nanoscale Science Research Center and the NERSC scientific computing center, as well as Berkeley Lab's outstanding programs in materials and chemical sciences, among others – offers a prime environment for collaborative science. The ALS has been a global leader in soft X-ray science for more than two decades and is currently undergoing a large-scale upgrade (ALS-U) that will endow the facility with state-of-the-art X-ray capabilities. It's an exciting time to join our growing team!
What You Will Do:
• Collaborate on the design, implementation and commissioning of a tender x-ray fluorescence nanoprobe instrument.
• Perform tender x-ray microscopy experiments using the new and existing instruments.
• Collaborate with other researchers, both internal and external to Berkeley Lab.
• Publish results in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
• Present work at conferences and internal group meetings.
• Work in a manner consistent with ALS core values.
What is Required:
• PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or equivalent.
• Experience with scanning microscopy instrumentation.
• Understanding of image formation, analysis and interpretation.
• Ability to safely perform independent hands-on work in an experimental setting.
• Proven track record in disseminating research at conferences and in publications.
Desired Qualifications:
• Experience with x-ray microscopy, fluorescence and or absorption spectroscopy.
• Experience with current problems in environmental science.
• Working knowledge of high vacuum systems and practices.
Notes:
• For full consideration, please apply by July 16, 2024.
• This is a full-time, 2-year, postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree.
• This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes. Postdoctoral Fellow positions are paid on a step schedule per union contract and salaries are predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates. Each step represents one full year of completed post-Ph.D. postdoctoral and/or related research experience. This position has a targeted monthly salary range of $7,455-$8,326 and is expected to start at $7,455 or above.
• This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment.
• Work will be primarily performed at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA.
