Responsibilities:
Work with the scientific team to define a procedure for calculating sample orientations.
Outline, implement and test a software method using Mantid Python methods.
Write test cases for use with continuous integration practices.
Identify and integrate additional features for increasing the scientific benefits of this work.
Requirements:
You are in full-time education at university and will be returning to university/your studies once the summer placement has concluded.
You have the right to live and work in the UK for the duration of the placement.
Working towards a degree in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Computer Science.
Experience programming in Python.
Knowledge of the principles of diffraction & the reciprocal lattice.
Ability to translate real-world problems into computer code solutions.
Good written and oral communication skills.
Ability to work in a team.
Desirable:
Experience in writing software documentation.
Experience with continuous integration and writing test cases.
Location:
Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire. The successful applicant will work with instrument scientists and software scientists to develop a software algorithm to calculate the orientation of samples measured on several scientific instruments at ISIS. The resulting product will utilize existing Python routines, and will rely on the applicant creating a procedure using these routines. The procedure will be written in a user-friendly way to take user inputs and calculate the solution. You will primarily work with instrument scientists based in the Excitations group, which is composed of eight scientists who use the neutron instruments at ISIS to perform fundamental scientific experiments on novel materials. About Summer Placements at STFC: STFC's incredibly diverse range of placements allows you to work alongside world-leading engineers, scientists, and technicians in highly collaborative environments. Whichever you choose, you will become a critical member of the team in which you will be exposed to exciting projects and challenges from the start. You will also be supported every step of the way by our dedicated Early Careers Development Team. STFC offers a benefits package crafted to provide an excellent work/life balance including flexible working hours, health promotion programmes, and subsidised restaurant and coffee outlets. As one of Europe's largest research organisations, we ask the biggest questions in the universe to find answers that change the world around us. We seek understanding. We're proud of the impact we make. And we're committed to helping build a globally competitive, knowledge-based UK economy. Being part of all this means contributing to work that pushes boundaries and creates possibilities. UKRI is an organisation that brings together the seven disciplinary research councils, Research England, and Innovate UK. Together, we build an independent organisation with a strong voice and vision ensuring the UK maintains its world-leading position in research and innovation. The role holder will be required to have the appropriate level of security screening/vetting required for the role. UKRI reserves the right to run or re-run security clearance as required during the course of employment.
