About Us Diamond Light Source is the UKs 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. Software helps to enable the world-leading science performed at Diamond. Our software systems facilitate operations at all levels, including the low-level control of synchrotron and beamline hardware, the planning, execution and monitor of experiments, data archiving and retrieval, data processing and visualisation, the application for beamtime, and capture of remote experiment plans and samples. Our software engineers work alongside our scientists to develop innovative and robust solutions to keep Diamond at the forefront of scientific research. About the Role We now have an opportunity for a Senior Software Scientist to provide leadership within the group that develops and supports the data analysis software used for the success of experiments on Diamonds beamlines and instruments. The role will involve leading projects that enable new analytical capabilities for Diamond-II and ensuring continuity of data analysis support for our operational beamlines. The postholder will contribute to shaping Diamonds data analysis strategy and lead cross-functional projects that combine experiment management, real-time analysis, and AI/ML-driven optimisation. As a Senior Software Scientist, you will: Collaborate closely with beamline scientists and engineers on automation, mail-in, and remote-operation workflows, supporting the groups strategic goal of increasing throughput and accessibility for industrial and academic users. Develop, maintain, and extend data reduction and analysis pipelines for SAXS, WAXS, IR imaging, and CD spectroscopy, integrating these with Diamonds information management systems and computational infrastructure. Lead and contribute to the implementation of AI/ML-driven workflows for tasks such as beam and optics optimisation, instrument digital twins, signal and image denoising, and hyperspectral analysis. Work with partners such as the Ada Lovelace Centre (ALC) and STFC AI for Science to integrate computational models into operational platforms (e.g., Bluesky, MLExchange, Shapespyer) to support SCM experiments. Support the preparation and execution of new SCM techniques such as Diffracted X-ray Tracking and X-ray Footprinting Mass Spectrometry, which will demand new data structures, simulation tools, and integrated pipelines for multimodal experiments. Participate in developing a unified, cross-beamline analysis framework that enables interoperable data analysis across SCM and related Life Science instruments, in line with Diamond-II ambitions for standardised, scalable data processing. Act as the primary liaison between the Data Analysis Group and SCM beamlines, ensuring that emerging software and computing solutions are aligned with user needs and the evolving experimental landscape of Diamond-II. This role is ideal for a candidate who enjoys working at the interface of experimental science and computational technology, and who can combine hands-on development with strategic vision and collaborative leadership.
