We are seeking a highly skilled Beamline Scientist to join our I07 Surface Diffraction Beamline team at Diamond Light Source. As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for maintaining the beamline, providing user support, and conducting high-quality original research.

The I07 beamline is a state-of-the-art facility designed for grazing incidence diffraction and scattering experiments. You will have the opportunity to work with an intense, high-energy x-ray beam to study the structure and morphology of solid and liquid surfaces and interfaces.

Key responsibilities include:

• Maintaining the beamline and end-stations
• Providing user support and assistance to visiting scientists
• Conducting high-quality original research on the beamline and elsewhere
• Participating in the in-house research programme on in-situ/operando characterization of interfacial chemical reactions

We are looking for a candidate with a Ph.D. in a relevant scientific field, well-developed experimental skills, and a background in surface/interface science, electrochemistry, or catalysis. Knowledge of UHV techniques, surface characterization techniques, and software development is desirable.

Diamond Light Source offers an exceptional benefits package, including 26 days annual leave, public holidays, flexible working hours, and a defined benefit pension scheme. Staff also have access to a range of amenities on site, including a nursery, cafes, and sports and leisure facilities.

Diamond Light Source is one of the world's most advanced scientific facilities, home to the UK's synchrotron light source. Our work drives innovation in everything from vaccines to nanotech, and we are currently undertaking a major upgrade of the facility, known as Diamond-II.

We are committed to providing a positive work-life balance and offer a range of benefits to support our staff. If you are a motivated and talented individual looking for a challenging and rewarding role, we encourage you to apply.
