Didcot, Oxfordshire, 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.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in quantum or functional materials, synchrotron measurements, and experimental skills. They will also have experience with Python programming for data analysis, data acquisition, and the control of scientific equipment. A proven track record of conducting high-quality original research and developing internationally competitive research programs is essential.

The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary team and will be responsible for championing the detailed design, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation of the endstation. They will also be expected to participate in in-house research programmes on the beamline, provide user support, and contribute to the maintenance, development, and upgrades of the beamline and endstations.

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 also 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

Applications with an active research program in imaging quantum materials or a related field are encouraged. The research program should ideally include experience with in-situ sample environments, including the experimental setup, analysis, and interpretation of data.

Benefits

Diamond Light Source offers an exceptional benefits package to support staff in achieving a positive work/life balance. This includes 26 days annual leave plus Christmas closure, public holidays, 2 annual volunteering days, and flexible working hours. We also offer 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. A relocation allowance may also be available where applicable.
