About the Role

We are seeking two highly motivated and talented students to join our Detector Systems Group as Industrial Placement students. The successful candidates will have the opportunity to work on the development of advanced particle detectors for neutron and muon beamlines, contributing to the advancement of cutting-edge instrumentation for the ISIS pulsed neutron and muon source.

Key Responsibilities
  • Investigate methods to produce detectors with the required performance and at an acceptable cost.
  • Design and construct prototype detectors, experimentally determine their characteristics, and optimize the design in our suite of laboratories.
  • Evaluate the performance of prototypes in their ultimate environment using beam time on an ISIS instrument.
  • Carry out experimental programs, with hands-on experimental responsibilities and data analysis tasks.
Requirements
  • Currently enrolled on an undergraduate degree course and returning to university/studies to complete your undergraduate degree following the placement.
  • Required or have requested to take an industrial placement year.
  • Have the right to live and work in the UK for the duration of the placement.
  • Able to commence employment in summer 2025.
  • Studying for a degree in physics or another physics-related degree.
  • Ability to work independently and engage in self-motivated learning.
  • Enjoy problem-solving and pursuing an experimental development program.
  • Able to analyze data and draw conclusions.
  • Demonstrate scientific computing-related skills.
  • Have good communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Be willing to work with ionizing radiation.
Desirable Qualifications
  • Have knowledge of ionizing radiation detectors.
  • Have experience using test equipment for processing electronic signals, such as oscilloscopes.
  • Demonstrate an extra-curricular interest in experimental physics.
