Diamond Light Source is one of the world’s most advanced scientific facilities. We’re home to the UK’s synchrotron light source – a giant microscope producing beams of light 10 billion times brighter than the sun. Probing the structure and composition of matter, our work drives innovation in everything from vaccines to nanotech.

The role will also drive the upgrade of XChem sample preparation facility to meet the challenges of I04-1’s upgrade to K04, an ultra-high throughput fragment screening platform.
You will demonstrate extensive experience of user support in an international user facility, along with experience of compound management, macromolecular crystallography, crystal handling and soaking along with fragment screening.
A strong interest in making an impact to the field of fragment-based drug discovery is a must.
