Manage daily operations and technical development of Beamline 12.2.2 (diffraction at non-ambient conditions).

Maintain and upgrade beamline instrumentation, sample environments, and computing infrastructure to support users and evolving research needs. Drive data acquisition and data processing developments.

Collaborate with and advise/train the ALS users to conduct state-of-the-art x-ray experiments. 

Serve as scientific lead during the ALS Upgrade, overseeing beamline modifications, and defining the post-ALS-U diffraction roadmap including clear milestones for developments in sample environments, detectors, and optics.

Ensure compliance with ALS, LBNL and DOE safety requirements. Note that Integrated Safety Management (ISM) is the DOE framework for how we protect ourselves and each other while pursuing the Lab’s mission, by systematically integrating safety into management and work practices at all levels.

Build collaborations and partnerships with new and existing ALS users and develop a strong professional network. Engage closely with Approved Programs that supply additional support personnel and infrastructure to the beamline, including with NSF SEES, Synchrotron Earth and Environmental Science.

Contribute to the broader scientific community through expertise, and committee service, peer review.

Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and present results at conferences and workshops.

Lead or contribute to scientific R&D projects and funding proposals.

Supervise or mentor students, postdocs, and colleagues as appropriate.

Perform all responsibilities with a high level of independence, professional judgment, and initiative.
