ABOUT US
Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron science facility. Located on the Harwell Science & Innovation Campus in Oxfordshire, a 20-minute drive south of Oxford in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Diamond Light Source conducts world-class research in virtually all fields of science and offers 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.
Responsibilities:
We now have an 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 will 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.
We are now seeking a Beamline Scientist to take the lead on the development of our quantum materials imaging endstation which will support research including 3D imaging of topological magnetic spin textures, skyrmions and chiral systems, time-resolved magnetisation dynamics, antiferromagnetic and multiferroic materials and nanopatterned devices.
Duties will include:
- Championing the detailed design, prototyping, construction, commissioning, and ongoing optimisation of the endstation.
- Close collaboration 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.
- Participation in in-house research programmes on the beamline. Participation in 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.
Applicants will be considered for the Beamline Scientist or Senior Beamline Scientist level, depending on the strength of your skills, experience, and qualifications.
