Research Associate - Microreactor Chip Based Sample Delivery

**Job Description**

**Position Overview**

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, a DOE national user facility operated by Stanford University, seeks a Research Associate to lead development of segmented-flow droplet microreactors for high-throughput, time-resolved X-ray studies of transient chemical and biological processes. This project will enable new science in gas/liquid/solid catalysis, gas/liquid and liquid�liquid mixing, and nucleation studies relevant to pharmaceuticals, energy storage materials, and greenhouse-gas remediation.

The Research Associate will work closely with the Sample Environment and Delivery team to integrate droplet-based microfluidic technologies into LCLS�s existing liquid-jet delivery systems, ensuring compatibility with upcoming LCLS-II-HE operating modes. The role involves hands-on device design and fabrication, benchtop characterization (high-speed imaging, mixing/transport diagnostics),...
