Eastleigh, Hampshire, United Kingdom Diamond Light Source Full time

About Us

Diamond Light Source is the UK's national synchrotron science facility. Our mission is to deliver world-class research in virtually all fields of science, providing rewarding career opportunities.

We are currently planning a major upgrade of the facility, known as Diamond-II, which will combine a new machine and new beamlines with a comprehensive series of upgrades to optics, detectors, sample environments, sample delivery capabilities and computing.

Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for a Beamline Scientist to join the Coherent Soft X-ray Imaging and Diffraction (CSXID) beamline, one of the flagship beamlines in the Diamond-II upgrade project. The CSXID beamline will provide polarised soft x-rays with high coherent flux and support a range of coherent imaging techniques delivering high resolution imaging in both 2D and 3D.

The beamline will include two end-stations with sample environments dedicated towards quantum materials and functional materials research respectively. It will support a diverse research portfolio ranging from magnetic nanodevices to battery materials and catalysts.

Your Role

You will champion the detailed design, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation of the quantum materials imaging endstation. Close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team will be required to drive the development of both hardware and software, necessitating excellent communication and organisational skills.

You will develop an internationally competitive research program, leading your own research and taking advantage of the unique capabilities of the beamline. Participation in in-house research programmes on the beamline will also be expected.

Your Skills

To be successful in this role, you will hold an appropriate Science or Engineering Degree or equivalent as well as a PhD. Proven relevant experience in a scientific field relevant to the post will be essential.

You will require experimental skills, including the ability to conduct high quality original research. Python programming skills for data analysis, data acquisition, and the control of scientific equipment will also be necessary.

Benefits

We offer an exceptional benefits package to support staff in achieving a positive work/life balance. This includes 26 days annual leave, Christmas closure, public holidays, 2 annual volunteering days, and flexible working hours. An excellent defined benefit pension scheme is also provided.

Staff also have 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.

Salary: £38,756 to £42,588 per annum
