Scientist II # 26-23562

Typical equipment you will use includes: high voltage power supplies, low current ammeters, ultra-high vacuum systems, and other electronic lab equipment. The key to becoming a good scientist is the ability to analyze and communicate results with the advanced technology groups we work with.

Duration: 12+ months

Job Description:

Responsibilities:
Every intern scientist in our group will be assigned a PhD scientist to mentor them. Our goal is to develop your scientific skill while completing active research in our lab. Activities will include one or more of the following tasks as determined by project priorities as well as intern capabilities and interests. Interns trained by us develop valuable high-tech skills and unique knowledge in the area of electron emission.

Experiments and lab work:
The majority of our work involves setting up and running experiments. Typical equipment you will use includes: high voltage power supplies, low current ammeters, ultra-high vacuum systems, and other electronic lab equipment. We occasionally work with liquid nitrogen in cold experiments.

Examples of experimental activities:

• Performing periodic thermal imaging pyrometry and monitoring of ongoing experiments
• Gathering I/V curve data on running emitters
• Performing noise measurements on cold-field and Schottky electron emitters
• Conducting energy spread measurements and/or brightness measurements
• Using our SEMs to image and perform surface analysis, and from time to time using FIB systems to mill, cut or shape surfaces
• Running computer simulations thermal transport, electrical transport, and/or electron emission

Development, analysis and reporting results:
The key to becoming a good scientist is the ability to analyze and communicate results with the advanced technology groups we work with. You will be developing your skill to present work accurately and concisely, and will present at one of our internal seminars. Examples of development activities include:

• Analyze experimental data e.g. to determine optimal performance from emitter characteristics
• Assist in development of data acquisition and analysis software e.g. curve fitting, regression, image processing
• Develop and test new laboratory and instrument control software
• Develop and characterize automated electron source control software
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and repair laboratory equipment as needed
• Work with scientists and engineers to diagnose and repair equipment issues

Education

• B.S. in the Biological Sciences is required. Molecular Biology degree preferred.
