Job DescriptionX-Ray Optics Specialist - 101387
Division: AL-Advanced Light Source
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL, https://www.lbl.gov/) Advanced Light Source Division has an opening for an X-Ray Optics Specialist to join the team.
As a scientist specializing in the development of x-ray optics and optical systems, you'll be at the forefront of designing, specifying, creating, testing, and using state-of-the-art beamlines, endstations, and experimental systems. Your contributions will drive forefront scientific tools at our user facility, harnessing ultrabright synchrotron beams with nano-scale precision. As the Advanced Light Source transitions to a diffraction-limited storage ring, you will participate in the creation of a new generation of unique systems that harness the high coherent flux and deliver light to a wide range of scientific applications.
The Advanced Light Source is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science national scientific user facility whose excellent scientific reputation, expert staff, and capabilities in the soft x-ray, hard x-ray, and infrared regimes attract nearly 1,700 academic and industrial users each year in disciplines spanning physical, chemical, materials, biological, energy, and Earth sciences. It is one of five Berkeley Lab user facilities that serve a combined 11,000 users annually. The co-location of these user facilities – including the Molecular Foundry Nanoscale Science Research Center and the NERSC scientific computing center, as well as Berkeley Lab's outstanding programs in materials and chemical sciences, among others – offers a prime environment for collaborative science. The ALS has been a global leader in soft x-ray science for more than two decades and is currently undergoing a large-scale upgrade (ALS-U) that will endow the facility with state-of-the-art x-ray capabilities. It's an exciting time to join our growing team!
