I am Jamie Scott, former (I think I now have to admit) physicist and current computer wrangler, all at Glasgow University, where I started a degree in 1993 and never quite got around to leaving. These pages are mainly for job-related notes that the wider world may find useful, but I might as well put the usual biographical information here. So, to start:
| Date | Position |
|---|---|
| 1993 - 1997 | M.Sci. (Hons) in Chemical Physics |
| 1997 - 2000 | Ph.D. in what was then the Solid State Group (SSP), now MCMP. Thesis title: Characterisation of MFM Tip Stray Fields using Lorentz Electron Tomography |
| 2001 - 2002 | Research Assistant in the Particle Physics Experimental Group (LabView data acquisition for ion beam profiler and retinal electrode array systems). |
| 2002 - 2007 | Research Assistant in SSP group (magneto-optical characterisation of micron-scale elements, then Electron microscopy of GaAs-based MOSFETS). |
| 2007 - 2009 | Research Associate in the Institute for Gravitational Research (IGR) (IT and research support). |
| 2009 - 2025 | IT Administrator in the IGR |
| 2025 - present | Senior Systems Engineer, Research Computing team, in the College of Science and Engineering (CoSE) |
I should get a publication list sorted for this site at some point. In the meantime it can be seen at the University library (should have almost everything).

Nowadays, I work with (primarily) Linux servers and workstations across the College (although I sneak in the occasional instance of BSD when I can get away with it…)
