Didcot, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Diamond Light Source Full time

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Beamline Scientist to join our I07 beamline at Diamond Light Source. The I07 beamline is a state-of-the-art facility designed for grazing incidence diffraction and scattering experiments.

The beamline operates two end-stations, equipped with a UHV diffractometer, a double crystal deflector, and a multipurpose diffractometer. It supports experiments in diverse research areas, including thin films, 2D materials, soft matter, heterogeneous catalysis, and electrochemistry, with a focus on in-situ/operando experiments.

As a Beamline Scientist, you will be responsible for maintaining the beamline, providing user support, and assisting visiting scientists with experiments. You will also be expected to lead your own research activities on the beamline and participate in the in-house research program on in-situ/operando characterization of interfacial chemical reactions.

The position offers the opportunity to exploit the unique capabilities of the 4th generation synchrotron and contribute to potential beamline upgrades and development projects.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will hold a Ph.D. in a scientific field relevant to the post, such as physics, physical-chemistry, chemistry, or materials science.

You will have well-developed experimental skills, the ability to conduct high-quality original research, and a background in surface/interface science, electrochemistry, or catalysis. A proven knowledge of surface x-ray diffraction/scattering techniques, instrumentation, and methodology for structure solution and refinement is essential.

Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, as well as the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team, are also required.

Benefits

Diamond Light Source offers an exceptional benefits package, including 26 days annual leave, public holidays, 2 annual volunteering days, flexible working hours, and 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.
