Job description

About UsDiamond Gentle Supply is the UK’s third technology synchrotron science facility. By accelerating electrons to close light-speed, Diamond generates good beams of sunshine from infra-red to X-rays that are used for tutorial and trade analysis and growth throughout a spread of scientific disciplines together with structural biology, physics, chemistry, supplies science, engineering, earth and environmental sciences.In regards to the PositionDiamond’s imaging capabilities for biology are in depth, exploiting gentle, X-rays and electrons that are being utilized to picture mobile equipment past single proteins to complete cells and tissues. These are primarily coordinated by the science group with shut interactions with the science group, to supply a various vary of imaging capabilities throughout numerous time and spatial resolutions.The Organic CryoImaging (BCI) group at Diamond at present incorporates the nationwide cryoEM centre ( ), along with a full area cryo X-ray transmission microscope at A bespoke 3D cryo-structured illumination microscope has additionally been developed and opened to customers at B24, offering an easy-to-use platform for 3D correlative imaging of cells in vitreous ice through the use of cryo-structured illumination microscopy (cryoSIM) and gentle X-ray tomography. Correlative gentle and electron microscopy workflows are additionally being developed incorporating the bespoke cryoSIM at B24 in addition to business cryoCLEM techniques at eBIC. The bioimaging group works intently with different X-ray imaging beamlines at Diamond specifically the exhausting X-ray imaging beamlines I13-1 and I13-2 the place a devoted endstation for giant quantity bioimaging is being developed on the coherence department (I13-1) and excessive throughput section distinction tomography for organic samples is being developed at I13-2. Alternatives for bioimaging are additionally being pursued at J08, a gentle X-ray spectro- and tomo-ptychography beamline, I14 a tough X-ray nanoprobe beamline, I18 (micro X-ray spectroscopy) and nano-IR imaging and Round Dichroism (CD) at beamlines B22 and B23, respectively.We now have an thrilling alternative, for an bold established scientist to guide beamline B24.
