BACKGROUND

The Berkeley Center for Structural Biology (BCSB) maintains and operates five protein crystallography beamlines at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Protein crystallography is a critical tool for structural biology research; the beamlines are used by pharmaceutical companies in the development of therapeutics, and they provide vital information to scientists in a diverse range of fields from cancer research to cell development.

The beamlines run continuously six days a week, Tuesday through Sunday. Scientists, students and post-docs from around the world conduct experiments on the beamlines, generally in 24-hour or 48-hour shifts. The BCSB supports these users in beamline operation.

This position can either be a 20% or 40% part-time, exempt-level position working either 8 hours (one day) or 16 hours (two days) on the weekend.

Training will be provided, and will occur during the first three months of employment during regular weekday hours.
