Open position:

Beamline Associate at the High Pressure Collaborative Access Team (HPCAT) at the Advanced Photon Source

The High Pressure Collaborative Access Team (HPCAT) invites applications for one beamline associate position 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.  

Responsibilities of the 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 synchrotron related 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. Guoyin Shen (gshen@ciw.edu), HPCAT, Bldg 434E, 9700 S. Cass Ave., Argonne National Laboratory, IL 60439, USA. The review will start from November 1, 2011 until the position is filled. 

The HPCAT is managed by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Carnegie Institution is an equal opportunity employer.

#316280 High Pressure Science, Assistant Physicist
This position includes responsibility for developing novel, high-impact, high-pressure, synchrotron science and enabling technology with an emphasis on understanding materials related to nuclear energy. Close collaboration with the HPSynC group is expected. The successful applicant shall focus on integrating high-pressure apparatus with the state-of-the-art synchrotron capabilities and helping the high-pressure community users access the newly enabled technology. Responsible for reporting relevant results in an appropriate form. Within 5 years of initial appointment, must develop a recognizable research portfolio in high-pressure science relevant to the goals of the Division and the Laboratory. The beamline group into which the candidate is placed will be determined by overlap and interest within the X-ray Science Division. The position may be filled by a junior candidate as an Assistant Physicist or by someone with more extensive experience at a higher level.
