🚨 NIST is #hiring a Materials Research Engineer! 🚨 Join NIST's Materials Measurement Science Division and play a pivotal role in advancing XRD science! We're seeking experts to enhance and innovate measurement capabilities, develop and certify SRMs, and be a part of impactful collaborations with the scientific community. Duties: At the ZP-III level, you will: - Maintain and operate the existing suite of custom XRD instruments and design new components as needed. This may include hardware such as precision mechanical components and diffraction optics, as well as software tools for data acquisition and analysis. - Extend and develop advanced mathematical models of XRD processes. This includes dynamic and kinematic X-ray scattering theory, Monte-Carlo simulations, and the Fundamental Parameters Approach (the primary certification method for our powder diffraction SRMs). - Provide support as needed for the certification and utilization of the existing suite of SRMs as well as the development of new standards. - Effectively communicate results through publications and presentations at national and international conferences. At the ZP-IV level, you will: - Lead efforts related to improving in-house XRD measurement capabilities. - Take on additional responsibilities related to SRM development, including engagement with the XRD community to identify future needs, evaluation of candidate reference materials potentially through the release of research grade test materials (RGTMs), and providing additional support for the existing suite of products. - Build and maintain collaborations related to XRD measurement capabilities both within and outside of NIST. - Recruit and mentor postdocs and students as appropriate.

🚨 NIST is #hiring for a Physical Scientist/General Engineer! 🚨 Join NIST's Fire Research Division! Conduct cutting-edge research of wildland-urban interface fires, advancing modeling of fire dynamics and smoke transport. Focus on prescribed fire, improve fire spread simulators, and validate models with geospatial data. Collaborate with teams to develop tools supporting fire planning and safety. Duties: Conduct research in wildland-urban interface fires with a focus on: - Advancing modeling of wildland fire dynamics and smoke transport. - Emphasizing prescribed fire and the wildland-urban interface. - Contributing to cutting-edge research supporting the development of robust numerical models for improved planning and implementation of prescribed fire. Develop, implement, and evaluate numerical models of wildland fire dynamics, including: - Combustion, heat transfer, and fluid flow. - Enhancing the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) software to better model fire spread and near-field smoke transport in outdoor flows. Process and analyze geospatial field data to validate and refine numerical models for accuracy and reliability. Collaborate with an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and external partners to align model capabilities with stakeholder objectives. Interested?

Why is NIST a great place to work? One of the great things about working on a NIST campus is the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports and physical activities — from low-key lunchtime walks on all three campuses, to yoga and dance classes in Boulder, to competitive but friendly soccer, ultimate frisbee and volleyball games in Gaithersburg. Taking a break to play a sport, join a walk, or participate in a class could be just what you need to have a satisfying, healthy workday and connect with new colleagues. NIST's Standards Employees Benefit Association (SEBA) sponsors and has supported a number of activities on our campuses. SEBA is a volunteer organization of NIST employees dedicated to providing social, recreational, and wellness benefits to its members and others who have a close association with NIST.  Aside from these activities, SEBA also manages our campus fitness centers. These are available to all NIST employees, and can be utilized at any point during the day. See below for a list of activities that NISTers engage in: - Walking - Salsa Dance - Slow Flow Yoga - Basketball - Bowling - Gardening - Golf Association - Kickball - Knitting, Crocheting, Spinning, Cross-stitching - Ski Club - Softball League - Soccer - Tennis - Ultimate Frisbee - Volleyball
