About the Role

We have an exciting opportunity for a talented Scientist to join our team at Diamond Light Source. As a Beamline Scientist, you will play a key role in the development of our quantum materials imaging endstation.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in quantum or functional materials, with experience in synchrotron measurements such as coherent imaging, ptychography, and polarised soft x-ray scattering.

You will be responsible for the detailed design, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation of the endstation, as well as developing an internationally competitive research program.

About You

We are looking for someone with a PhD and proven relevant experience in a scientific field relevant to the post. You will demonstrate experience and knowledge in the following areas:

  • Quantum or functional materials
  • Synchrotron measurements such as coherent imaging, ptychography, and polarised soft x-ray scattering
  • Synchrotron-based x-ray techniques, ideally with experience of coherent imaging or polarised x-ray spectroscopy
  • Experimental skills, and the ability to conduct high-quality original research
  • Health, Safety and Environmental policies and procedures
  • Python programming for data analysis, data acquisition, and the control of scientific equipment

Applications with an active research program in imaging quantum materials or a related field are encouraged.
