About Us
Diamond Light Source is the UK’s national synchrotron science facility. By accelerating electrons to near light-speed, Diamond generates brilliant beams of light from infra-red to X-rays which are used for academic and industry research and development across a range of scientific disciplines including structural biology, physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, earth, and environmental sciences.

Development of science technology proceeds at a blistering, relentless pace and requires cutting edge scientific software solutions to facilitate this critical work. With increasingly large and complex data sets and increasing use of correlative analysis it is essential that we enhance our data reduction and analysis solutions to fully support both current and future needs, enabling new science opportunities coming from the development and application of AI and ML techniques.

This role will see you carrying out aspects of scientific engagement, staff management, software project management, and giving leadership to meet overall business objectives. In the wider sense, you’ll work with the IT team and scientists in order to establish performance requirements and support the operation of the facility.

  • Providing a specialist technical advisory/support function within area of expertise.
  • Taking full responsibility for the architecture, design, code, test, deployment, documentation, and support of appropriate software systems.
  • Budget management.

Further responsibility for consideration as Head of Scientific Software would include:

  • Leading the development of strategy and forward vision for scientific software to support the science programme.
  • Providing strategic leadership and vision for scientific computing hardware.

You should also demonstrate experience in:

  • Modern software project management techniques and tools.
  • Object orientated languages such as Java, C, C++ and Python.
