About the role
The University of Alabama in Huntsville seeks a Principal Research Scientist I, Step 4, to advance multilayer optical coatings, instrument hardware, and computational modeling for X-ray optic technology in astrophysical and high-energy applications.
The role involves collaboration with NASA MSFC, designing and testing reflective optics, and developing data-driven software tools to enhance coating precision and instrument performance.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
