| Why Work at BNL?
Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. Located on the center of Long Island, New York, Brookhaven Lab brings world-class facilities and expertise to the most exciting and important questions in basic and applied science—from the birth of our universe to the sustainable energy technology of tomorrow. We operate cutting-edge large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. The Laboratory's almost 3,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff are joined each year by more than 4,000 visiting researchers from around the world. Our award-winning history, including seven Nobel Prizes, stretches back to 1947, and we continue to unravel mysteries from the nanoscale to the cosmic scale, and everything in between. Brookhaven is operated and managed by Brookhaven Science Associates, which was founded by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York on behalf of Stony Brook University, and Battelle, a nonprofit applied science and technology organization. Organizational Overview
The Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) at Brookhaven National Laboratory is searching for a scientist to lead the Center's program in electron microscopy. The CFN is a DOE-funded national scientific user facility, offering users a supported research experience with top-caliber scientists and access to state-of-the-art instrumentation. The CFN mission is advancing nanoscience through frontier fundamental research and technique development, and is the nexus of a broad collaboration network. Each year, the CFN supports the research of more than 500 external facility users from around the world. The CFN seeks a world-class candidate to develop new research and facility directions, and identify collaborative research opportunities. Three strategic nanoscience themes underlie the CFN scientific facilities: The CFN fosters research on complex self-assembly processes, for creating new ways of constructing Self-Assembled Nanomaterials by Design . The CFN supports state-of-the-art techniques for designing Nano-Architectures to improve the performance of materials. The CFN develops and provides advanced capabilities for studies of Nanomaterials in Operando Conditions , for characterizing materials and reactions at the atomic scale in real-world environments. The successful candidate will drive research along strategic themes, and help define the future strategic focus of the CFN. Position Description
The CFN is searching for an accomplished scientist to lead the Electron Microscopy group, which is composed of six scientific and technical staff members and a set of five state-of-the-art electron microscopes optimized for in-situ studies (details online www.bnl.gov/cfn). Essential Duties and Responsibilities: The qualified applicant will have a demonstrated track record of accomplishment in the following areas: -
Performing high-impact research using in-situ electron microscopy to understand the properties and performance of nanomaterials. -
Collaborating effectively in interdisciplinary teams, in both leadership and supporting roles. -
Mentoring and guiding the professional development of other scientists. Position Requirements
In order to be eligible for the position, candidates should have a Ph.D. degree in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, or a suitable Engineering discipline, and more than seven years of experience after their Ph.D. degree. Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: The successful candidate will demonstrate: -
Extensive experience leading a materials science research program that uses electron microscopy, and a record of world-class accomplishments; -
Considerable experience managing and mentoring other scientists; and -
A commitment to laboratory safety and safe-work practices. Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: The successful candidate will demonstrate: -
The ability to develop and communicate a compelling vision for the role of electron microscopy in advancing nanomaterial discoveries; and -
An understanding of the CFN user facility mission, and a commitment to facilitating the research of CFN users.
