The NSLS-II beamlines provide world-class facilities for research. The increased brilliance of the source, along with automation for data analysis has led to a significant increase in the acquisition speed and the amount of data which must be processed and analyzed by NSLS-II users. It is therefore essential to provide advanced tools making use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for data acquisition and data analysis and to work with the diverse user community of the NSLS-II in developing these tools.

NSLS-II has initiated AI pilot programs to further the development of these techniques. We are looking to recruit a scientist to work on Ai and machine learning developments for synchrotron applications, notably for applications where data analysis and management coupled with automated data collection would provide a large benefit to the experimental process.

The work will take place the Data Science and Systems Integration (DSSI) in close collaboration with beamlines beamline groups.
