<p class=MsoNormal>The Neutron Sciences Directorate at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory (ORNL) invites applications for a Power Electronics Electrical
Engineer. With the United States’ highest flux reactor-based
neutron source for condensed matter research (the High Flux Isotope Reactor)
and the world's most intense pulsed, accelerator-based neutron source (the
Spallation Neutron Source), ORNL is becoming the world's foremost center for
neutron science. Research at these facilities encompasses the physical,
chemical, materials, biological, and medical sciences and will provide
opportunities for up to 2000 researchers each year from industry, research
facilities, and universities all over the world. To learn more about
Neutron Sciences at ORNL go to: <a href="http://neutrons.ornl.gov">http://neutrons.ornl.gov</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
