About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Beamline Scientist to join our team at the Coherent Soft X-ray Imaging and Diffraction (CSXID) beamline, a flagship beamline in the Diamond-II upgrade project. The CSXID beamline will provide polarised soft x-rays with high coherent flux, supporting a range of coherent imaging techniques for high resolution imaging in both 2D and 3D.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the development of our quantum materials imaging endstation, championing the detailed design, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation.
  • Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to drive the development of both hardware and software, requiring excellent communication and organisational skills.
  • Develop an internationally competitive research program, leading your own research and taking advantage of the unique capabilities of the beamline.
  • Participate in in-house research programmes on the beamline, contributing to the maintenance, ongoing development, and upgrades of the beamline and endstations.
  • Provide user support, 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.
Benefits

Diamond 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.
