About the role
- Primary Purpose: This specialist position has responsibility for enabling research, teaching, and development for all researchers using the Mass Spectrometry (MS) suite of instruments at the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre (SSSC).
- This specialist will be a member of the Department of Chemistry working in partnership with the SSSC.
- As a specialist in vacuum technology and ion optics, training will be provided to serve as a secondary specialist in the SSSC Surface Science Suite, with an emphasis on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).
Requirements
- A minimum of a graduate degree (MSc or PhD) in science or engineering.
- Several years of experience in research involving mass spectrometry and analytical instrumentation.
- Ability to learn and adapt to new software packages relevant to the position as they become available.
- Strong one-on-one communicator with the ability to discuss projects with various researchers.
Skills
- Skills in electronics and mechanical systems relevant to mass spectrometry are essential, particularly vacuum technology.
Compensation
- While this position will work in the SSSC alongside a team of scientists who manage other suites of research instruments, it is expected to be mostly self-directed, independent, and self-sufficient.
- New situations, challenges and problems arise daily, and they are expected to be solved with minimal supervision.
- Administrative reporting is formally to the Department Head, although day-to-day reporting will be seconded to the SSSC management.
- Mass spectrometry research and analytical services are provided daily.
- This involves performing measurements tailored to researchers' needs, discussing experimental design with researchers, developing scientific methodology for analysis, and training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
- Mass spectrometry equipment in the undergraduate chemistry laboratories will also be supported as needed.
