Position: Instrument Scientist at STFC
Salary: £39,375 - £43,313 per annum (depending on skills and experience)
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed Term, 14 months
Are you passionate about advancing your career in scientific research within a leading national laboratory?
This role presents an exciting opportunity for a qualified individual to gain valuable experience as an Instrument Scientist. You will contribute to the scientific endeavors of the Disordered Materials Group at the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source.
Our expertise lies in employing neutron diffraction techniques alongside modern computational and analytical approaches to investigate the structure of liquids and amorphous materials across atomic, molecular, and nanometric scales.
We are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our small team, dedicated to conducting nationally and internationally recognized research while supporting a vibrant community of academic and industrial collaborators.
Role Overview
Your primary responsibilities will include providing local expertise to assist visiting research teams utilizing our Small Angle Neutron Diffractometer for Amorphous and Liquid Samples (SANDALS).
Your duties will typically encompass:
- Instrument operations and enhancement
- Conducting scientific investigations
- Providing support to visiting users
As an Instrument Scientist, you will have the opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and collaborate effectively with colleagues.
Candidate Profile
- A PhD or equivalent in biology, chemistry, materials science, physics, or a related field.
- A strong scientific foundation with the potential to develop an independent or collaborative research program that leverages the instrumentation available through the ISIS Disordered Materials Group.
- Experience with at least one large-scale neutron or X-ray facility-based atomic/molecular structural characterization or analysis technique, such as:
- X-ray crystallography
- Small angle scattering
- Atomic structure-focused spectroscopies like XAS, EXAFS, NMR, etc.
- Development of sample environments for neutron or X-ray experiments
- Utilization or development of atomistic modeling techniques, including Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics.
- A demonstrated publication record in relevant scientific fields, commensurate with experience.
Benefits
We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:
- 30 days of annual leave (in addition to 8 bank holidays and 2.5 privilege days)
- Flexible working hours
- An excellent defined average salary pension scheme
- Accessible public transport links and free parking
- Outstanding learning and development opportunities
