About the job

The Instrumental Raman Spectroscopist position at STFC focuses on developing advanced analytical instrumentation by combining Spatially Offset Raman Spectroscopy (SORS) with ultrasound for deep-tissue chemical imaging. Based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory within the Central Laser Facility, the role involves designing, constructing, and optimizing Raman systems, collaborating with leading scientists, and contributing to cancer diagnosis and treatment research. The position requires a PhD (or near completion) in natural sciences, hands-on experience with vibrational spectroscopy (Raman or IR), and strong analytical and teamwork skills. The role offers professional development opportunities, flexible working, a pension scheme, and 30 days of annual leave, with visa sponsorship available under UKRI.
