Assistant Physicist – Laue Microdiffraction
Argonne National Laboratory · Lemont, IL · Posted 17 days ago
Support commissioning and user science on 34-ID-E, the APS beamline for 3D Laue microdiffraction, while helping shape its capabilities for the upgraded source.
The Surface Scattering and Microdiffraction (SSM) group in the X-ray Science Division of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory seeks an Assistant Physicist to support the operation, development, and scientific program of the 34-ID-E beamline.
34-ID-E provides polychromatic and monochromatic micro- and nanofocused X-ray beams for spatially resolved studies of crystalline materials. Its core capability is 3D Laue microdiffraction, used to characterize crystal structure, orientation, strain, and microstructural evolution. The beamline also supports X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, and coherent X-ray techniques for materials research.
Position Responsibilities:
- Support commissioning, operation, and continued development of the 34-ID-E beamline.
- Develop advanced X-ray microdiffraction and microscopy methods, instrumentation, and scientific applications that take advantage of the upgraded APS source.
- Support user experiments at 34-ID-E, including guidance on data analysis and interpretation.
- Contribute to the growth of the beamline's user community.
- Carry out independent and collaborative research and help expand scientific capabilities at 34-ID-E.
- Publish and present research results in peer-reviewed journals and at scientific conferences.
- May be required to perform other duties as assigned.
