Post Bachelors Research Associate - Electron Microscopist (7204)
Job DescriptionOverviewProtecting U.S. residents and visitors is among our nation’s highest priorities. As adversaries gain access to sophisticated technologies and materials, the threats grow more dynamic and complex—from cyber and nuclear to chemical and biological weapons of mass effect and other forms of terrorism. The PNNL national security mission employs our researchers, tools, and technologies to play a key role in advancing the ability to identify and secure nuclear materials, detect weapons of mass effect, manage nonproliferation treaties, secure our nation's borders, and protect critical infrastructures. PNNL’s scientific discovery and capabilities—rooted in innovative theory, methods, algorithms, and tools—are enabling stronger, more resilient technologies and systems to safeguard national security. Coupled with decades of radiological and nuclear materials expertise, advanced computing and threat analysis capabilities, and a broad fundamental science base, we are identifying and countering emerging threats that have significant impact at home and around the globe. The Radiochemistry Group conducts fundamental and applied research resulting in new capabilities in trace element and radionuclide detection, environmental assessment and remediation, treaty verification, and proliferation detection and prevention. The group applies a broad range of instrument and method development knowledge, specialized chemical separation methods, and advanced spectrometric technologies in support of national security clients. Staff are typically involved in multiple projects, which enables each person to contribute to basic science studies as well as the applied missions of the Group. Staff use highly developed processes, specialized methods, and state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation to perform work that spans the spectrum of basic science to applied analytical services. Research areas include radiochemistry, nuclear materials chemistry and analysis, instrument development, and nuclear and materials signatures. Much of the analytical services work that is performed requires measuring radionuclides at trace levels.ResponsibilitiesPacific Northwest National Laboratory is seeking a qualified Post Bachelors Research Associate to provide electron microscopy support for particle characterization on analytical chemistry projects. The incumbent would perform routine and R&D measurements using a scanning electron microscope, performing imaging and EDS analyses. Direct experience with scanning electron microscopes is required, and additional knowledge of EPMA, XRD, EBSD, TEM, TIMS, SIMS or wet chemistry would be strongly preferred. The incumbent should be comfortable working independently and with a project team. Having a fundamental grasp of basic chemistry principles is essential. Responsibilities include following set procedures for materials characterization using a scanning electron microscope, maintaining sample throughput, and reporting.
