Didcot, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom Diamond Light Source Full time

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at Diamond Light Source. As a leading synchrotron facility, we offer a unique opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in x-ray spectroscopy and related fields.

The successful candidate will work on a research programme focused on understanding the relationship between structure/composition and activity/selectivity of well-defined alloy and oxide nanoparticles in vacuum and gas-phase environments. They will operate and further develop our state-of-the-art size-selected cluster source, support users and in-house researchers, and maintain contact with national and international project partners.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will hold an appropriate Science Degree, or equivalent, and an appropriate PhD with proven relevant experience in soft x-ray techniques for chemical and structural analysis of surfaces. Candidates with experience in ambient-pressure spectroscopies and research areas such as Heterogenous Catalysis or clusters are particularly encouraged to apply.

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, public holidays, 2 annual volunteering days, and flexible working hours. We also offer an excellent defined benefit pension scheme and access to a range of amenities on site, including a nursery, cafes, a restaurant, and sports and leisure facilities.
