<div><div>
</div>Position Overview:
The Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), a Directorate of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, is seeking an Associate Staff Scientist with a strong experimental background in quantum materials research, particularly with expertise in high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), to join the Soft X-ray Group of the Materials Sciences Division. The successful candidate will focus on the development, operation, scientific user support, and in-house research program of the ARPES endstations and related X-ray capabilities at SSRL.
SSRL's capabilities at BL5-2 and BL5-4 provide world-leading high-energy-resolution ARPES in the VUV range from 7 eV to 200 eV, complemented by a 6-eV laser, enabling detailed electronic-structure studies of quantum materials and beyond. In this role, you will lead efforts to operate, maintain, and further improve the ARPES endstations at BL5. This includes improving key beamline performance, such as energy resolution and beam spot size, to expand experimental capabilities for smaller samples (e.g., thin flakes) and quantum phases with finer energy scales.
To fully leverage the high-resolution and microfocused beam, you will design and implement in-situ and operando sample environments in ultrahigh vacuum for ARPES measurements. These capabilities will expand the scientific reach of the BL5 ARPES program beyond traditional bulk single crystals to include thin films and two-dimensional materials.
The successful candidate will pursue quantum materials research with a strong emphasis on high-resolution ARPES, and will join the Soft X-ray Group, which leads research programs using other synchrotron-based tools. This position offers opportunities for innovative research and leading publications. An essential aspect of this role is to support and expand the ARPES user community at SSRL by working closely with users to design optimized experiments and develop new experimental capabilities. The candidate will collaborate with scientists, engineers, and technical staff in support of SSRL&iquest;s scientific mission and DOE research priorities.
Your specific responsibilities include:<ul><li>
Conduct and support quantum materials research within the Soft X-ray Group, leveraging the state-of-the-art VUV ARPES beamline at SSRL.</li><li>

Design and implement in-situ and operando sample capabilities for ARPES, including uniaxial strain, electric gating, and advanced sample surface preparation methods.</li><li>
Develop modern, automated data analysis tools, workflows, and software pipelines that seamlessly convert raw spectroscopic data into scientific insights, accelerating the path from data acquisition to discovery.</li><li>
Provide guidance to users on designing optimized ARPES experiments to support their research programs.</li><li>
Actively grow the ARPES user community at SSRL by engaging prospective research groups, fostering interdisciplinary partnerships, and serving as the primary point of contact for general users.</li><li>
Build and maintain a comprehensive training and outreach program&iquest;including workshops, tutorials, and documentation&iquest;to lower the barrier to entry for new ARPES users and broaden the technique&iquest;s accessibility.</li></ul>
Note: This position is posted at the Associate Staff Scientist level. The Associate Scientist position is a 3-to-5-year fixed-term position and the entry level in the Staff Scientist career path. The Associate Scientist position is scheduled to be assessed after the 3 to 5-year period, with the possibility of appointment to the Staff Scientist level.
Applicants must hold a PhD degree or provide formal confirmation of completion of the PhD degree requirements prior to starting the position. Application materials must include a cover letter, a research statement (including a brief-summary of accomplishments), a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references for future letters of recommendation.
