Dear All, We seek a new colleague for the synchrotron crystallography group at EMBL-Grenoble. For details and contact address see the text below. With best regards, Raimond +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), an international research organisation with its Headquarters Laboratory in Heidelberg (Germany), Outstations situated in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany) and Hinxton (UK), and a Research Programme at Monterotondo (Italy) invites applications for the following vacancy in Grenoble, France: Postdoctoral Fellowship in computational crystallography Job Description: The EMBL Outstation in Grenoble, France is a laboratory of about 70 people, located in very close proximity to two unique European facilities for research in structural biology: the nuclear reactor of the Institut Laue Langevin [ILL], which provides high flux neutron beams, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility [ESRF], which produces amongst the world's most intense X-ray beams. The Outstation collaborates very closely with both these facilities in building and operating beamlines for macromolecular crystallography, in developing the associated instrumentation and techniques, and in providing biochemical laboratory facilities and expertise to help external visitors making measurements. We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow who will be involved in computational and experimental studies to correct and exploit X-ray radiation damage. The exploitation should eventually lead to an improved success rate of SAD experiments on weakly diffraction crystals as well as deriving phases from native macromolecular crystals using the RIP technique. The successful candidate will have at his/her disposal a wide range of samples for analysis and will benefit from the close collaboration established between ESRF and EMBL in Grenoble and within the BIOXHIT project. Qualifications & Experience: The successful candidate should have a background in applied mathematics or physics. The candidate is expected to hold a PhD. Experience or interests in software development for X-ray crystallography would be advantageous. For project queries please contact Dr. Raimond Ravelli: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Contract: A contract of 2 year's duration will be offered to the successful candidate. Closing Date: 30 September 2005 To apply for this position, candidates should email a detailed CV, with concise description of research experience and the names and addresses of at least two referees quoting ref. no VN/05/PD/19 in the subject line to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
