Development Leader
Pièces jointes: ATT13800.txt
The Neutron
Sciences Directorate (NScD) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites
applications for an experienced scientist to lead the development of neutron
scattering instruments and techniques for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS)
and the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) within the Neutron Sciences
Directorate. With the United States’ highest flux reactor-based neutron
source for condensed matter research (HFIR) and the world's most intense
pulsed, accelerator-based neutron source (SNS), 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:
We seek a
candidate who can lead the effort to provide cutting-edge scientific
capabilities through the continued modernization of operating instruments at
SNS and HFIR, the development of new techniques on existing instruments, the
development of new instruments at SNS and HFIR, and the development of instruments
for new sources such as the SNS second target station and the HFIR second cold
source. This leader must have an understanding of the scientific contributions
that can be made with neutron scattering and the vision to identify and lead
important new thrusts in instrumentation to enhance the neutron scattering
scientific capabilities at SNS and HFIR.
The
Instrument Development Leader will be a member of the division management staff
in the Neutron Scattering Science Division (NSSD) and the Neutron Facilities
Development Division (NFFD) and will report directly to one of these Division
Directors. The Instrument Development Leader may have some line management
responsibilities, but the extent of such responsibilities is negotiable.
This
position is foreseen as a permanent position. However, we are willing to
consider an appointment for a more limited term if the candidate so desires.
Major
duties and responsibilities:
•
Develops capabilities for and directs activities to produce concepts for new
instruments for the remaining beamlines at SNS and HFIR, concepts for initial
suite of instruments for a second target station at SNS, concepts for new
techniques to enhance existing instrument capabilities, and concepts for new
components
•
Creates and maintains a prioritized list of science-driven needs for new
capabilities and related instrument development required to meet these needs
•
Implements development projects based on these priorities. These projects may
involve interfacing with a number of different groups at NScD including
detectors, sample environment, software, neutron optics, etc.
•
Obtains and manages budget and other resources for development projects,
including seeking external funding as appropriate
Qualifications:
The
successful candidate must have a Ph.D. and an excellent track record, with at
least 10 years experience in a technical field. Experience in directing a
research or development team is highly desired. Breadth of knowledge about neutron
scattering and a vision of the impact that it is capable of making in a broad
range of scientific areas is required. The successful candidate must have
demonstrated ability to work with a broad spectrum of people in a research
environment. Candidates must have excellent written and verbal communication
skills and enjoy working in a team environment, with the collaboration of all
levels, disciplines, and diverse cultural backgrounds of the organization.
