Didcot, United Kingdom Diamond Light Source Full time
About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Beamline Scientist to join the Coherent Soft X-ray Imaging and Diffraction (CSXID) beamline at Diamond Light Source. The successful candidate will be responsible for the development of our quantum materials imaging endstation, which will support research in 3D imaging of topological magnetic spin textures, skyrmions, and chiral systems, time-resolved magnetisation dynamics, antiferromagnetic and multiferroic materials, and nanopatterned devices.

Key Responsibilities
  • Championing the detailed design, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation of the endstation.
  • Closely collaborating with a multidisciplinary team to drive the development of both hardware and software, requiring excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • Developing an internationally competitive research program, leading your own research and taking advantage of the unique capabilities of the beamline.
  • Participating in in-house research programmes on the beamline, as well as the maintenance, ongoing development, and upgrades of the beamline and endstations.
  • Providing user support, as a local contact, by assisting visiting scientists in carrying out a wide range of experiments.
About You

You will hold an appropriate Science or Engineering Degree or equivalent, as well as 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, 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.
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, as well as 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.
