National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility at the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) is seeking a Research Associate or
Research Specialist for the maintenance, development, and operation of two ¹⁴C
Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) systems. The first AMS system is based upon
a 500 kV Pelletron accelerator and incorporates both a conventional graphite
sputter source and a unique, gas-accepting, microwave ion source. The second
AMS system is a Mini Carbon Dating System (MiCaDaS) from Ionplus AG that was
installed in 2022. The MiCaDaS system comes with several sample-to-gas-to ion
source interfaces to allow enhanced NOSAMS capabilities and unique research
directions.<span></span></span></p>

high quality ¹⁴C measurements and expertise to the ocean science
community, and to enhance NOSAMS capabilities. In particular, the candidate is
expected to assist in the operation and maintenance of the AMS system for
sample analyses to obtain the highest quality measurements. Participation in
technology development in one or more of the following topics is anticipated:
