Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource

By Chi-Chang Kao It has been a while since I have had the opportunity to update the laboratory on the searches for our two open Associate Lab Director (ALD) positions, so I would like to do that today.

The search for LCLS and SSRL directors is moving forward thanks to the collaboration of the search committee and SLAC staff. Initial candidates have expressed interest and the list will be narrowed over the summer, but there's still time to submit a name.

Earlier this year, SLAC Director Chi-Chang Kao asked us to lead a search for new directors for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL).
