Diamond User Committee Nominations

Dear Colleague

The Diamond User Committee is a forum for discussion of matters relating to the operation and strategy of the Diamond Light Source. According to the Terms of Reference, membership of the DUC should be a 3 year term. Based on this, both Sam Chong (Engineering) and Tom Hase (Materials) have reached the end of their term, and we thank them for their contribution to the DUC over the last 3 years.

Following a reorganisation of our Science villages, we are now expanding the DUC from 13 to 16 members to align with these new groups. Please see the following pages on our website for further details.
A number of representatives are also due to leave after the next meeting in September, so we have quite a few positions to fill as follows:

Science Group	Instruments	No of new reps required	Current representatives
MX	VMXi, I03, I04, I04-1, I23, I24, XFEL-hub, MPL	1	Dr Ed Lowe*	Dr Arnaud Basle
Soft Condensed Matter	B21, B22, B23, I22	0	Dr Nick Brooks (Chair)	Dr Tim Knowles
Spectroscopy	B18, I18, I20-XAS, I20-EDE	1	Dr Gareth Law
Biological Cryo-imaging	eBIC, B24, Cryo-Fluorescent microscopy	1	Dr Laura Spagnolo
Magnetic Materials	I06, I10, I16, I21, B16	2	Dr Ed Lowe*	Dr Arnaud Basle
Structures & Surfaces	I05, B07, I07, I09	1	Dr Yvonne Grunder*	Dr Andrew Thomas
Imaging & Microscopy	I08, I13-1, I13-2, I14, I12, ePSIC	1	Dr Neil Telling
Crystallography	I11, I15, I15-1, I19	1	Dr Amber Thompson*	Prof Colin Pulham

* Due to leave after 25th Sept-18 meeting.

Please could you suggest nominations to sit on the committee, with confirmation that they are happy to stand for election:

Include their affiliation (e.g. Dept and University).
Indicate which beamline (s) they are principally associated with.
You may self-nominate with support from another User.

Nominees need to be current users of a beamline or have applied for beamtime at Diamond in the case of the more recently operational beamlines. We are looking to widen the interaction with our users and are seeking nominations who are not already members of the Peer Review Panels.

Please return nominations to usercommittee@diamond.ac.uk by Friday 6th July.

With thanks for your help.

Best Regards
