Diamond Light Source invites proposals for its rapid access to selected beamlines and electron microscope. This provides candidates with quick and urgent access to one of the following beamlines: eBIC, E01, E02, MX (I03,I04, I04-1), XChem, I05, I06, B07-C, I08, I11, I13-1, I13-2, I15, I15-1, B16, B18, I18, I19, B21, I21, B22, B23, I23, B24 and I24. In steady state 80 per cent of beamtime is available to external users and 20 per cent beamline for in-house research. Industrial users may have up to 10 per cent of the beamtime allocated to external users, with only 30 per cent available per beamtime. Funding available depends on the location of the applicant.

Crystallography; Environmental Technology; Materials Sciences; Infrared & Ultraviolet Light; Spectrometry; Nanotechnology; Radiology & Medical Imaging; Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics; Structural Chemistry & Spectroscopy; Magnetism & Electromagnetism; Microscopy

Applications are invited worldwide. The PI for a proposal must provide an ORCID ID in their registration details, and must have the status of research fellow or academic staff. Additionally all Diamond scientists including post doctoral research assistants and support scientists can apply as PIs providing they have the agreement of their principal beamline scientists. Users are advised to contact the principal beamline scientist prior to application as some beamlines have restricted amount of rapid access available.
