**Job Description**

**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 resonant soft X-ray scattering (RSXS), 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 RSXS endstation and related X-ray capabilities at SSRL.

SSRL's capabilities at BL13 provide world-leading resonant soft X-ray scattering techniques, enabling spatially and spectroscopically resolved studies of correlated electronic phenomena through energy- and momentum-sensitive measurements. These capabilities allow detailed investigations of charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom in quantum materials. In this role, you wi...
