The Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(ORNL) invites applications for a Mechanical Engineer. With the United
States’ highest flux reactor-based neutron source for condensed matter
research (the High Flux Isotope Reactor) and the world's most intense pulsed,
accelerator-based neutron source (the Spallation Neutron Source), ORNL is
becoming the world's foremost center for neutron science. Research at these
facilities encompasses the physical, chemical, materials, biological, and
medical sciences and will provide opportunities for up to 2000 researchers each
year from industry, research facilities, and universities all over the
world. To learn more about Neutron Sciences at ORNL go to: http://neutrons.ornl.gov.
PURPOSE:
This position will serve as the SNS/RAD HEBT/Ring/RTBT
