312365 BIO – Assistant Physicist
The Molecular Environmental Science Group in the Biosciences Division
at Argonne National Laboratory has an immediate opening for an
Assistant Physicist. This position is responsible for conducting
research in environmental science by using synchrotron-based X-ray
techniques. Work includes construction and operation of the MRCAT/
EnviroCAT bending magnet and insertion device beam lines at sector 10
at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), X-ray absorption studies, X-ray
scattering, and X-ray microprobe techniques to gain a microscopic
understanding of the fundamental chemical and physical processes that
govern the outcome of macroscopic processes in the environment.
Assists Molecular Environmental Science general users of the APS
during the experiments at the APS. Also assists Molecular
Environmental Science Group Leader to develop a national users` group
for applying synchrotron-based techniques to problems in
environmental science.
Considerable knowledge of experimental X-ray absorption spectroscopy,
including extended X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy
(EXAFS), X-ray near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) is required.
Considerable skill in the operation of experimental equipment
necessary for these and analysis and interpretation of these
experiments is required. Good knowledge of X-ray diffraction and
imaging techniques and the associated instrumentation. Good knowledge
of potential applications of X-ray techniques to the outstanding
problems in environmental science. These levels of knowledge and
skills are typically achieved by attainment of a Ph.D. in Physics or
a related discipline and 2-4 years of Postdoctoral experience
applying synchrotron-based X-ray techniques to problems in
environmental science. Ph.D. and 0-1 year experience/equivalent
Master's Degree and 2-3 years of experience/equivalent Bachelor's
Degree and 6-8 years experience/equivalent.
Although a staff level research scientist position is available,
outstanding applicants at the postdoctoral level will also be
