You will also act as the technical design authority for all electronic designs to ensure design solutions are robust and fit for purpose to meet operational requirements. This will involve running formal electronic design reviews to provide the necessary design oversight to projects. Another important aspect of this role will be to provide the strategic direction to enable the electronics team to successfully develop solutions with the very latest electronics technology. This will involve the role holder continually researching the very best modern electronic components, packages and techniques and conducting small exercises to prove their use. Working with the electronics section manager and development managers, you will be providing the technical leadership to the electronics team to enable them deliver robust solutions to meet these requirements against operational deadlines. A typical day may include engaging with highly experienced electronic engineers in your team providing them with oversight, guidance and technical direction, engaging MPS operational officers to understand their requirements and conducting electronic design reviews.

Didcot, Oxfordshire
Science and Technology Facilities Council Salary: £39,375 per annum Hours: Full time Contract Type: Fixed Term (24 months) Location: Science and Technology Facilities Council, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell, Oxfordshire Come and do the kind of science that made you want to become a scientist. Explore the unknown and get to grips with the biggest challenges in Big Science. And, alongside world class engineers, technicians and technologists, use everything you've learnt to find real answers that shape society and improve lives. Put simply, discover the kind of impact you can make when you work with some of the best facilities and brightest scientists in the world. As part of a recent collaboration between ISIS and PSI, a package of work relating to the development of new techniques for high-pressure neutron and muon measurements has been put together. Part of this work package includes funding for a postdoctoral researcher, to expand the high-pressure science program at both ISIS and PSI. Background The ISIS Neutron and Muon Source (ISIS) is one of the UK's leading national research facilities for studying condensed matter at extreme conditions. As a central facility, ISIS has a strong scientific user programme with extensive national and international links. This includes the neutron and muon facilities in Switzerland, Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI, SINQ and SmS). This has resulted in the formation of a collaborative project between ISIS and PSI, looking to develop new programmes of study in high-pressure for both facilities. This new research position will join the Crystallography Group at ISIS, working in collaboration with researchers at PSI. The ISIS Crystallography Group operates 7 neutron diffraction instruments, performing diffraction measurements covering a range of academic and industrial research. High-pressure measurements are routinely performed on many of these instruments, including on the dedicated PEARL diffractometer. PEARL is designed around the Paris-Edinburgh press, with working pressures up to 25 GPa. However, there is a growing need to perform high pressure experiments with high precision over the 0-2 GPa range, over wide scope of temperatures. PEARL can deliver very low-background, well corrected data from a wide range of different sample types. Some 'softer', less stable, or highly polymorphic materials exhibit a very large response to pressure requiring a greater pressure control than can be obtained from a typical gasket/anvil assembly. For example, this is meaningful for the study of many molecular materials, which can also demonstrate exciting magnetic phenomena which can be studied uniquely with neutrons and muons. This is also the case for other crystallographically-complex samples where significant changes are often witnessed over a small pressure range. We are looking to appoint a highly motivated research scientist to a two-year postdoctoral position at ISIS. The principal duties are to work with the instrument team on PEARL to develop the high-pressure diffraction capabilities available to the user programme at ISIS and PSI. In addition, independent research will be encouraged, though this should relate to high-pressure phenomena using neutron diffraction and muon spectroscopy. List of Duties / Work Programme / Responsibilities Conduct high quality research using high pressure techniques. Develop large-volume high-pressure sample environment for use on neutron scattering instruments. Investigate the feasibility of extending these high-pressure developments to muon spectroscopy. Write beamtime applications for central facility access (ISIS, PSI and other central facilities). Provide supervision for students and team members (dependent on experience). Disseminate research via publications and conference presentations. Contacts and Communication. You will interact with a broad range of ISIS staff, and form part of our new collaboration with PSI. You should be willing to travel and is expected to present their scientific work and represent the group at meetings (both at ISIS and PSI) and other international conferences. Additionally you will also interact with visitors, predominantly from higher education institutions and industry. Please note: you will be expected to work in radiation areas, out-of-hours occasionally (at night and weekends), in confined spaces (2x2m2 floor area) and travel abroad where business needs. The below criteria will be reviewed through shortlisting criteria (S) and or Interview criteria (I) Essential: PhD, or about to receive a PhD, in a physical science or related field. (S) Proven scientific background in relevant field with evidence of a developing independent scientific profile in high-pressure, commensurate with experience. (S&I) Experience of working with neutrons and or muons (S&I) Experience of sample- environment development (S&I) Experience of high-pressure diffraction, including data analysis methods (S&I) Practical Engineering skills (S&I) Strong interpersonal and communication skills (written and oral English) (S&I). Awareness of health and safety responsibilities. (I) Ability to work collaboratively, individually on complex problems and to act effectively on instructions from a team leader.(I) Good presentation skills.(I) We ask some of the biggest questions in the universe, to answer some of the biggest challenges in the world. Together, our scientists, technologists, engineers, technicians and business support team explore the unknown across every field you could think of. And they turn what they find into work that changes the world around us. What could you achieve with the world-leading facilities and experts of one of Europe's largest research organisations by your side? Join us and discover what's possible.
