Salary:
£41,344 (Band D) or £51,242 (Band E) per annum (dependent on skills and experience) Hours:
Full time Contract Type:
Fixed Term (until the end of March 2027) Location:
Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire About the Role The CLF is seeking to recruit a scientist with a background in ultrafast laser or x-ray science to join the Artemis team. We are looking to recruit as soon as possible. Artemis uses extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) laser pulses, produced through high harmonic generation (HHG), in a broad range of experiments in chemistry, solid-state physics, laser physics, ultrafast spectroscopy, and imaging. These include time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy/photoemission, coherent lensless imaging and HHG spectroscopy. For more information see
here . The upgrades funded on Artemis include a new high-average power laser system, new end-stations for molecular dynamics and materials science, and a new x-ray transient absorption beamline. The role has two main components: Working with external user (mainly university) groups using the facility by planning and supporting experiments; Developing experiments on x-ray transient absorption spectroscopy and coherent lensless imaging with HHG. You will be encouraged to maintain and develop collaborations to sustain your own scientific research, to write papers, apply for grants, and to attend conferences. You will be working in a vibrant multi-disciplinary environment with engineers, physicists and chemists from industry and academia. Good communication skills and teamwork are essential. Person Specification The below criteria will be assessed at Shortlisting (S), Interview (I), or both (S&I): PhD in a physical science or engineering subject (or equivalent relevant experience) (S); Experience working with ultrafast lasers or x-rays (S&I); Experimental skills, such as design and development of scientific instruments, or operation of complex scientific equipment (S&I); Data acquisition and analysis skills (such as development of software, or proficiency in LabView, Matlab or Python) (S&I); Good communication skills (I); Able to work effectively as part of a team (I); Experience with one or more of: laser post-compression, high harmonic generation, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, liquid jet sources, ptychography or other x-ray or lensless imaging techniques (S&I). For the higher salary range, we expect you to also have: Postdoctoral experience, or other relevant employment experience (S); Track record of publication in peer-reviewed journals (S); Ability to plan and manage your own project (S&I); Experience managing junior staff or students (S&I). How to apply Online applications only preferred for this role. Please submit a CV and covering letter which clearly outlines how you fulfil the criteria specified along with your motivation for UKRI and the role. Ensure that the job reference number is included in the filename description of each document uploaded.
