Diagnostics Physicist/Engineer
2 months ago
About the Role
We are seeking a highly skilled Physicist/Engineer to join our Diagnostics team at Diamond Light Source, to provide expert technical knowledge and hands-on experimental support to our beamlines and accelerators.
The Diagnostics group plays a critical role in ensuring the stability and quality of our electron and photon beams, which are essential for delivering world-leading science. With a major upgrade project underway, known as Diamond-II, the requirement for sub-micron electron beam stability presents new challenges and opportunities for the development and deployment of innovative instrumentation.
This is a cross-functional role based in our Technical Division, requiring close collaboration with interdisciplinary groups and beamlines across the organization to measure and improve our X-ray beam stability.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the maintenance and calibration of diagnostics equipment, including white beam X-ray beam position monitors (XBPMs), monochromatic beam XBPMs, optical diagnostics, and associated acquisition hardware.
- Maintain a current knowledge of other comparable beamline and accelerator projects.
- Communicate with physicists/scientists at other facilities to ensure exchange of knowledge.
- Provide technical expertise for research and development, operational support, and analysis of installed systems.
About You
Candidates should be qualified to degree level in physics or engineering, or demonstrate significant equivalent experience, with a relevant postgraduate qualification desirable. You will demonstrate knowledge and experience of experimental techniques and data analysis, and have some familiarity with optical systems. Knowledge of accelerator physics and experience of particle accelerator facilities, beamlines, and beam diagnostics is beneficial.
You should have a good knowledge and understanding of experimental measurements, data collection processes, and equipment. You should have some experience with hands-on, practical work using measurement equipment and instrumentation.
Requirements
- Good interpersonal, communication, and presentational skills, with the ability to interact effectively with staff and facility users at all levels.
- Ability to work in a team environment and contribute to the development of innovative solutions.
- Flexibility to adapt to changing priorities and deadlines.
What We Offer
Diamond Light Source 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.
