Responsibilities

  • The successful candidates will investigate methods to produce detectors with the required performance and at an acceptable cost. This is typically done by designing and constructing a series of prototype detectors, experimentally determining the characteristics of these detectors and optimising the design in our suite of laboratories. In addition, the successful candidates will be awarded beam time on an ISIS instrument to evaluate the performance of their prototypes in their ultimate environment.
  • The successful candidates will be responsible for carrying out the experimental programme, with both hands-on experimental responsibilities as well as data analysis tasks. Help and advice will be provided by the supervisors. You are also encouraged to present the results of your project in regular meetings with your line manager and in section meetings.
