Beamport Engineer (Posted 02/13/2026)
MURR Neutron Scattering Team is searching for a dynamic Engineer to support work on Neutron Scattering Instrumentation with our Research and Education team. MURR is the largest neutron source (10 MW) on a U.S. campus and is well-suited for neutron scattering research. The Neutron Scattering group at MURR currently operates four instruments for structure and dynamics studies of matter: a triple-axis spectrometer, a reflectometer, and two powder diffractometers.
This position will be expected to provide technical support for neutron scattering instrumentation, instrument control, and supporting equipment, including low-temperature sample environments. This work will largely focus on maintaining the operations of and advancing the capabilities of the four neutron scattering instruments at MURR and other beam port equipment, in conjunction with neutron scattering scientists. One major focus will involve maintaining and extending capabilities in instrument control software.
Preferred Qualifications. Experience with electromechanical control is highly desired. Software and programming skills are required. C/C++, LabVIEW, Java, Python, and Linux experience are preferred. The ability to work in a team environment, strong organizational skills, and effective communication are essential.
(01/21/2026) 2026 Nuclear Science Career Academy (NSCA) Summer Internship Program (closed)
We have one opening for summer internships in my research group as part of the 2026 NSCA at the MU Research Reactor. This internship is available to both Mizzou and non-Mizzou undergraduate applicants and will last for 8 weeks, with the possibility of an extension to 11 weeks. Interns will focus on developing extracellular matrix (ECM) pre-scaffolds on lipid nanoparticles, aiming to achieve desired structures and mechanical properties to modulate cellular behavior. For non-Mizzou applicants, travel expenses will be covered for one round-trip to and from Columbia, MO. If you are interested, please send your academic transcripts, CV, and a motivation letter to phanmd@missouri.edu.
More information on the program can be found here.
(01/21/2026) Student Assistant Research - Tissue Engineering (closed)
We have one opening for Mizzou students with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, biophysics, and biochemistry. The student's research project focuses on creating extracellular matrix (ECM) mini-scaffolds composed of single- and multi-protein configurations on lipid membranes with controlled structural and mechanical properties. This project is part of the effort seeking to understand how individual native ECM proteins contribute to cell-matrix interactions, leading to advanced technologies in regenerative medicine and tissue repair.
Interested students should submit their academic transcripts, CV, and a motivation letter through Handshake, where the full job description is posted.
