CASY-MSCCN Jobs

Argonne is a multidisciplinary science and engineering research center, where talented scientists and engineers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity, from how to obtain affordable clean energy to protecting ourselves and our environment. Ever since we were born out of the University of Chicago’s work on the Manhattan Project in the 1940s, our goal has been to make an impact — from the atomic to the human to the global scale.

Argonne is looking for a group leader to manage, lead, and mentor the members of the Surface Scattering and Microdiffraction group (SSM) within the X-ray Science Division (XSD) at the Advanced Photon Source. In this position you will manage the day-to-day operations, budget, as well as R&D activities of the group. You will also lead the development of scientific programs based on surface scattering, microdiffraction and coherent methods, and guide other scientists in these activities. Lastly, the group leader will develop a personal R&D program recognized for world-wide impact.

Position Requirements

• Knowledge, skills, and experience in managing a complex, technical organization.

• Knowledge of synchrotron radiation methods as well as materials science characterization techniques.

• Ability to develop and lead a team of scientific and technical personnel.

• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence and deliver measurable impact.

• Demonstrated written and oral communication skills.

• Ability to communicate effectively with the beamline user community, sponsors, other group leaders and senior management.

• Ability to model Argonne’s Core Values: Impact, Safety, Respect, Integrity, and Teamwork.

• Understand, value, and promote diversity.
