East Hagbourne Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Diamond Light Source Full time

Diamond Light Source is the UK’s 3rdgeneration synchrotron science facility. By accelerating electrons to near light-speed, Diamond generates brilliant beams of light from infra-red to X-rays which are used for academic and industry research and development across a range of scientific disciplines including structural biology, physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, earth and environmental sciences.
Diamond’s imaging capabilities for biology are extensive, exploiting light, X-rays and electrons which are being applied to image cellular machinery beyond single proteins to whole cells and tissues.These are primarily coordinated by the Biological cryoImaging science group with close interactions with the Imaging and Microscopy science group, to offer a diverse range of imaging capabilities across various time and spatial resolutions.
The Biological CryoImaging (BCI) group at Diamond currently incorporates the national cryoEM centre ( eBIC ), together with a full field cryo X-ray transmission microscope at beamline B24. A bespoke 3D cryo-structured illumination microscope has also been developed and opened to users at B24, providing an easy-to-use platform for 3D correlative imaging of cells in vitreous ice by using cryo-structured illumination microscopy (cryoSIM) and soft X-ray tomography. Correlative light and electron microscopy workflows are also being developed incorporating the bespoke cryoSIM at B24 as well as commercial cryoCLEM systems at eBIC. The post also provides an exciting opportunity to engage and contribute to new opportunities for large volume 3D X-ray Nano-bioimaging alongside the Diamond II project which will deliver a major machine upgrade, new instruments and capabilities.
As the Principal Beamline Scientist at B24 you will lead a team of scientists and establish a competitive research programme which exploits the capabilities of B24 and bioimaging at Diamond in general. Your primary responsibility will be to lead in the management of the operation, maintenance, and strategic development of B24 and work with other instrument scientists within bioimaging at Diamond and with our partners on the Harwell campus (e.g. the Research Complex at Harwell, The Rosalind Franklin Institute, and the Ada Lovelace Centre) to contribute to the continued development and delivery of a strategy for multimodal bioimaging approach within Diamond.
You will have access to state-of-the-art laboratories for structural and cellular biology embedded at the beamline and within the Research Complex at Harwell to pursue your research as well as the opportunity for PhD studentships within Diamond’s PhD fellowship programme. You will manage a substantial beamline budget and can bid for large scale capital projects funded internally at Diamond. Support for external grant funding through national and international funding agencies to take full advantage of the stimulating and exciting international research environment at Diamond is also provided.As the leader of the B24 team you will also contribute to the development of new software and instrumentation for bioimaging as well as provision of user support by assisting visiting scientists to carry out a wide range of experiments.
Diamond offers an exceptional benefits package to support staff in achieving a positive work/life balance. This includes 26 days annual leave plus Christmas closure, public holidays, 2 annual volunteering days and flexible working hours. We also offer an excellent defined benefit pension scheme. Staff also have access to a range of amenities on site including a nursery, cafes, a restaurant and sports and leisure facilities. A relocation allowance may also be available where applicable.
Please use the online application process to apply and include a summary of current and future research plans (max 3 pages).
