Overview
Applications are invited for a dynamic and motivated Instrument Scientist to lead and develop advanced experimental capabilities and lead a shared research platform within the Department of Physics.
Based in the Cavendish Laboratory, the role supports a shared characterisation facility forming part of the Collaborative Research and Development Environment (CORDE). The facility enables cutting-edge research across the physical sciences, providing high-performance instrumentation and measurement platforms for both academic and industrial partners.
The Successful Candidate Will
* develop, maintain, and optimise advanced research instrumentation for precision measurements;
* support and train users from diverse scientific backgrounds;
* ensure safe and reliable operation of complex experimental systems;
* contribute to the design and implementation of new experimental methods and facility upgrades; and
* collaborate with researchers to deliver high-quality scientific outcomes across a range of disciplines.
Your strong technical problem-solving skills, hands-on experimental experience, and ability to communicate effectively with researchers will be key to providing an exceptional level of support and innovation within the facility.
Together with other CORDE characterisation laboratories, the post contributes to a world-class research environment supporting interdisciplinary discovery and technological development.
This position offers a unique opportunity to shape and expand advanced instrumentation capabilities at Cambridge, supporting a vibrant research community at the forefront of materials and device physics.
