About Us
Diamond Light Source is the UKs national synchrotron; a huge scientific facility designed to produce very intense beams of X-rays, infrared and ultraviolet light. Our scientists use the light to study a vast range of subject matter, from new medicines and treatments for disease to innovative engineering and cutting-edge technology.
About the Role
We now have an opportunity for a Mechanical Beamline Technician or a Senior Beamline Technician to maintain and support the operational and scientific research activities of our I15-1 beamline, which performs experiments to study the local structure of materials from a vast range of scientific fields such as catalysis, energy materials, and pharmaceuticals. Experiments are performed under a wide range of ambient and non-ambient conditions through the use of bespoke detectors, in situ sample environments and high-precision, motorised measuring apparatus.
You will be responsible for the ongoing development, maintenance and installation of the beamline infrastr...
