Assistant NanoFab Manager
US Citizenship Required

The Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology is seeking expressions of interest for an exciting opportunity for a customer service-focused nanofabrication expert to join its management team.
About Us
The NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST), located in Gaithersburg, MD, is a major nanotechnology user facility that supports the U.S. nanotechnology enterprise from discovery to production by providing industry, academia, NIST, and other government agencies with access to world-class nanoscale measurement and fabrication methods and technology.  The CNST's shared-use NanoFab gives researchers economical access to and training on an extensive commercial state-of-the-art tool set for cutting-edge nanotechnology development. The simple application process is designed to get projects started in a few weeks.  Visit us on the web at www.nist.gov/cnst.
Unique Opportunity
We expect to offer the right candidate the opportunity to join one of the country's leading nanotechnology user facilities.  The individual would assist in the management of the CNST's NanoFab, including its full complement of state-of-the-art nanofabrication, metrology, and material characterization tools made available individually at hourly rates.  There are over 250 projects at the NanoFab each year involving over a thousand participating researchers from both inside and outside NIST, including projects led by NIST and other government, academic, and industrial organizations.
Job Description
As the NanoFab Assistant Manager you will be part of the CNST's NanoFab Operations Group, assisting the NanoFab Manager with a wide range of both technical and administrative responsibilities.  Responsibilities will include but are not limited to reviewing new project proposals, assisting researchers with project plans, serving as a liaison between researchers and NanoFab process engineers, planning and overseeing advanced process development, sustaining the NanoFab safety program, specifying and procuring parts and instrumentation, supervising the User Coordinators Office staff and operations, and generally supporting day-to-day operations and user management.
Skills required
The position will involve all aspects of NanoFab operations-from process development, analysis, and control, to budget, user, and personnel management.  The position requires a broad knowledge and experience in nanofabrication processes and process integration.  The successful candidate will have demonstrated, hands-on process development experience in multiple process technologies such as reactive ion etching (RIE), low pressure and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD, PECVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), diffusion/oxidation, photolithography, and electron beam lithography (EBL).   Experience integrating these processes for the fabrication of nanoelectronic and nanomechanical devices is strongly desired.  Excellent oral and written communication and interpersonal skills are required to effectively lead technical discussions with research participants, prepare process library, procurement, and policy documentation, and represent the CNST to visitors and at technical meetings and conferences.  The responsibilities also require project management skills to oversee advanced process development and NanoFab infrastructure improvements.  The successful candidate will also be proficient in Microsoft Office applications and general computer use.  The ability to work with scientists and engineers from a wide range of disciplines and cultures combined with an enthusiasm for working on multiple, complex projects simultaneously are important.  Positions may be filled at an appropriate level (NIST pay band III-IV, salary $55,824 - $129,670), commensurate with education, training and/or experience
