ARI Lead Beamline Scientist

Brookhaven National Laboratory is committed to employee success and we believe that a comprehensive employee benefits program is an important and meaningful part of the compensation employees receive.

The National Synchrotron Light Source-II (NSLS-II) is a DOE-funded scientific user facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Electronic Structure Techniques (EST) Program within the Physical Sciences & Research Operations Division offers cutting-edge capabilities for investigating and controlling the complex interplay of emergent quantum phenomena and novel electronic and magnetic properties in condensed matter materials relevant to DOE mission need areas in quantum information science and energy transmission and storage.

Position Description

The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National Laboratory seeks a lead beamline scientist for the soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) Imaging (ARI) beamline. The ARI beamline incorporates two endstations, one for ARPES and one for RIXS, and provides ultra-high spatial resolution (~100nm) scanning imaging capability in each endstation via tightly-focusing mirror optics.

As the Lead Beamline Scientist for ARI, the successful candidate will work closely with a multidisciplinary team including beamline scientists, data analysis scientists, technicians, engineers, and other support staff to lead both the ARI user program and beamline operations.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities :

• Refine and evolve the mission and technical scope of the ARI beamline by interacting effectively with the scientific user community and with the Electronic Structure Techniques Program and NSLS-II colleagues.
• Grow the ARI beamline's scientific program in line with the NSLS-II strategic plan and support the facility mission with a focus on scanning imaging angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering.
• Lead the safe operation of the ARI beamline and provide oversight of staff and users working at the beamline.
• Supervise a team of beamline scientists assigned to the ARI beamline.
• Propose and manage the ARI operating budget, beam time allocation, and schedule.
• Oversee the design, implementation, maintenance, and upgrade of the beamline equipment and guide the beamline's progress with advanced data management and analysis.
• Collaborate with NSLS-II staff, BNL scientists, and / or external researchers to develop an independent scientific and / or technical research and development program that leverages or enhances the unique capabilities of the ARI beamline.
• Coordinate the ARI user program with those of other NSLS-II beamlines within and outside the Electronic Structure Techniques Program that offer complementary techniques or capabilities.
