The Photon Sciences Directorate at Brookhaven National Laboratory is seeking an experienced scientist to lead the effort in the development of a small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) beamline at NSLS-II, which is a new third-generation synchrotron facility being constructed on Long Island, New York, with extremely high brightness and exceptional beam stability over a wide spectral range. As the Group Leader, the selected candidate will lead a group of scientific and engineering staff to design, build, and commission a state of the art SAXS/WAXS beam line, known as High Brilliance X-ray Scattering for Life Sciences (LIX), and it’s associated scientific programs at NSLS-II; please see http://www.bnl.gov/nsls2/beamlines/2010BeamlineProposal-Approved.asp for more information. Responsibilities include interacting with the scientific user community to define the mission and technical scope of the beamline and managing all aspects of the beamline design, construction, and commissioning, including aspects associated with work planning and execution and cost and schedule performance reporting.
