Didcot, United Kingdom Diamond Light Source Full time

**Harwell, Oxfordshire - Based onsite**

**About Us**

Diamond is one of the most advanced scientific facilities in the world, and its pioneering capabilities and talented staff are helping to keep the UK at the forefront of scientific research.

**About the Role**

We now have an opportunity for a Post-Doctoral Research Associate (PDRA) to join the Extreme Conditions (I15) beamline team for up to 3 years. This post is funded by the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) and it is a joint position between Diamond Light Source (DLS) in the UK and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland. The PDRA will be based at DLS but is expected to work across both campuses, spending extended periods of time on the I15 beamline at DLS as well as the ADDAMS beamline at PSI.

The I15 beamline is optimised for X-ray powder and single-crystal diffraction experiments at extreme pressures and temperatures. The main device for creating high-pressure is the diamond-anvil cell. A wide range of on
- and off-line laser facilities are available to complement the diffraction techniques.

The ADDAMS Beamline within the upgraded SLS 2.0, at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Switzerland), is a general diffraction beamline, with different experimental tables and setups dedicated to advanced diffraction measurements and experiments. Standard Diamond anvil cells are among the in-situ devices operated normally.

**About You**

You will also demonstrate excellent interpersonal, communication and presentational skills to interact with staff and facility users at all levels.

**Benefits**

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.

**To Apply**

- Further company benefits
- Life at Diamond
- Nuvos Pension Scheme

Diamond is open to different ways of working and we are committed to supporting our employees to have more flexibility and autonomy over where, when and how long they work.

Where relevant, and possible for the role, we will consider flexible working arrangements, secondment and job share opportunities.

Diamond are members of Working Families (the UK’s work-life balance organisation), we have also achieved the Athena SWAN Bronze award and Disability Confident Level Two.
