| Principal Beamline Scientist, I06 Diamond Light Source Didcot, Oxfordshire £53,219 - £62,611 (Discretionary range to £72,003) Ref: 041/18/TH We have an opening for a Principal Beamline Scientist to lead in the area of polarised soft x-ray spectroscopy and microscopy. Beamline I06 uses an intense X-ray beam (80eV-2100eV), to study magnetic phenomena. The activity includes magnetic imaging of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic nanostructures using PhotoEmission Electron Microscopy (PEEM), X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) using a superconducting vector magnet and ultrafast Soft X-Ray Diffraction (SXD). The successful applicant will be responsible for all aspects of the beamline and its development including an upgrade to an aberration-corrected PEEM. The beamline is part of the Magnetism Group within Diamond and has close links with I10, I16 and I21 which concentrate on XMCD, Hard X-ray Diffraction and Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering (RIXS). Suitable candidates should have expertise in polarised soft x-ray science including x-ray magnetic circular dichroism, x-ray magnetic linear dichroism and soft x-ray diffraction. The position will involve being responsible for beamline upgrades and defining/leading development projects. Experience of polarised x-ray science and knowledge of related techniques (e.g. XMCD, SXD) is a requirement for this role. Developing a strong in-house science programme is also a critical aspect of this role. The selected candidate will be expected to conduct their own internationally leading research activities on the beamline and elsewhere.

Diamond is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applicants from all sections of the community. |
