Description
Job Duties
Under the direction of the Hard X-ray Nanoprobe (HXN) group leader, will carry out scientific and technical research needed to develop a prototype x-ray microscope for the HXN beamline of the NSLS-II. The candidate will work closely with the nanopositioning engineer and beamline scientists of the NSLS-II on solving scientific and engineering problems associated with the nanopositioning/scanning system. The problems include developing of high-stiffness mechanical guidance, flexures, subnanometer laser interferometeric techniques, dynamic controls for achieving high scanning speed, and appropriate temperature and stability methods. Will participate in design, construction, testing and x-ray microscopy experiments at synchrotron sources using the prototype.
Qualifications Required:
PhD in physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or related discipline
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
Able to interact effectively with scientific and technical staff
Qualifications Preferred:
Knowledge and experience with x-ray microscopy, scanning-probe microscopy, laser interferometers, piezo-electric devices, mechanical guidance systems and/or dynamic controls
Knowledge of x-ray optics
