This position is to provide research, measurements, and services to support development and production of reference materials for chemicals of emerging concern, primarily PFAS. The major duties involve working in teams to develop and implement the associated chemical analysis methods, to improve the understanding of chemicals of emerging concern as they move through the environment and into the food chain, producing environmental reference materials and participating in leadership roles in international standards organizations. This position also includes the maintenance of scientific laboratory infrastructure (such as performing maintenance on laboratory equipment), the maintenance of a scientific laboratory notebook and associated electronic data records, the writing of internal reports and external publications, conformance within a laboratory quality management system, and the performance of other related duties as assigned.

This position is to provide inorganic analytical chemical measurements and services for the NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) program. The major duties involve the development and implementation of high-accuracy methods of chemical analysis for inorganic species based on classical analytical methods (primarily gravimetry) and the writing of reports of these measurements. This position includes (1) the use of sample preparation equipment and analytical equipment for the quantitative determination of chemical species; (2) the maintenance of scientific laboratory infrastructure (such as performing routine maintenance on equipment); (3) the maintenance of a scientific laboratory notebook and associated electronic data records; (4) the preparation of written reports for completed measurement activities; (5) conformance within a laboratory quality management system; and (6) the performance of other related duties as assigned.
