About Us
Software helps to enable the world-leading science performed at Diamond. Our software systems facilitate operations at all levels, including the low-level control of synchrotron and beamline hardware, the planning, execution and monitor of experiments, data archiving and retrieval, data processing and visualisation, the application for beamtime, and capture of remote experiment plans and samples. Our software engineers work alongside our scientists to develop innovative and robust solutions to keep Diamond at the forefront of scientific research.
About the Role
We now have an opportunity for a Data Analysis Scientist to assist us to incorporate new methods, technologies, and ways of working wherever possible. We are also looking to exploit cloud resources and incorporate Machine Learning techniques to help automate and predict associated trends in experimental data, so we need your help to form new software.
The development of synchrotron technology proceeds at a blistering, relentless pace and requires a cutting edge and exceptionally resilient technical estate to facilitate its critical work, turning theoretical science into practical and often life-changing discoveries. To help drive this innovation forward, we now require a Data Analysis Scientist to join the Diamond Data Analysis Group, specialising in the analysis of data acquired from beamlines within the Structures and Surfaces Science Group.
The Data Analysis Group provides a very comprehensive, imaginative, and often complex suite of bespoke software tools written in Python, C++ and Java. Our role is to help our scientists capture experimental information, process, and visualise terabytes of multidimensional data on the fly, and apply complex mathematical, fitting, or theoretical models to interpret their results.
About You
You will hold a relevant degree or equivalent, ideally with a background in using advanced mathematics and software engineering techniques.
You will also have experience or knowledge in the following areas:
- Software development in a modern programming language such as Python, C++ and/or Java
- Synchrotron experimentation and data interpretation in each scientific field
- Data management, describing data and exploiting databases for scientific work.
Benefits
Diamond offers an exceptional benefits package to support staff in achieving a positive work/life balance. This includes 26 days annual leave plus Christmas closure, public holidays, 2 annual volunteering days and flexible working hours. We also offer an excellent defined benefit pension scheme. Staff also have access to a range of amenities on site including a nursery, cafes, a restaurant and sports and leisure facilities. A relocation allowance may also be available where applicable.
To Apply
Please use the online application process to apply and tell us why you believe you are suitable for this role.
The closing date for applications is 5th November 2023, however, we encourage early applications as some candidates may be interviewed before this date.
