Research Scientist at NSF NeXUS facility, Ohio State University, USA

The NSF NeXUS Facility at The Ohio State University is hiring a Research Scientist to lead our ARPES experiments and system development.

The Research Scientist will conduct research, operating and maintaining the NeXUS equipment, with responsibility for the Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) end station and beamline. This system includes capabilities for ARPES analysis, photoemission microscopy, time-resolved photoemission measurements, and pulsed extreme ultraviolet (XUV) emission experiments. The Research Scientist will support user research and conduct independent research.

NSF NeXUS is a state-of-the-art user facility dedicated to studying material and molecular dynamics using ultrafast optical pulses (infrared to XUV/soft X-rays) and a variety of measurement instrumentation. The NeXUS facility includes three beamlines, with tailored ultrafast light in each, and multiple end stations supporting distinct analysis approaches. NeXUS is sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and hosted at The Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio, USA). Learn more about NeXUS, https://nsf-nexus.osu.edu/

The Research Scientist will be responsible for the operation, maintenance, and advancement of the ARPES end station. The ARPES end station is a commercial electron spectrometer purchased within the last five years. It has been customized to suit the needs of time-resolved optical experiments. Strong candidates will have expert knowledge of the underlying physical principles of photoelectron/photoemission analysis of solids. The Research Scientist will be responsible for the operation and advancement of the ARPES beamline, and they will receive the necessary support and training in XUV generation to operate this system.
