description: BIOXHIT
(Biocrystallography on a Highly Integrated Technology Platform for
European
Structural Genomics) is an integrated project within the EU's 6th
Framework
Programme. It brings together scientists at all European synchrotrons
and
leading software developers to produce a highly effective technology
platform
for Structural Genomics. It aims to consolidate the process of
bio-macromolecular structure solution from the bottom up. The
successful
applicant will work in a stimulating scientific environment at the
Macromolecular
crystallography group at the Department of Biomolecular Structural
Chemistry, a
member of Max F. Perutz Laboratories - University Departments at the
Vienna
Biocenter, The
selected candidate
will focus on two related projects: one will be the investigation of
radiation
damage on the active centers of selected set of metallo-enzymes and the
study effect
of free-radical and electron scavengers with the aim to reduce such
damage to
these metal centers. The other will be the use of soft X-rays in
macromolecular
crystallography for phasing as well as functional characterization
purposes,
with the focus on the design of the diffraction experiment. Qualifications
and
experience:
In addition to a PhD in a relevant area, experience in protein
_expression_ and
purification and in macromolecular crystallography techniques including
crystal
growth, data-collection as well as
familiarity
with
standard crystallographic software are required. Contract: A 2 year
contract
will be offered to the successful candidate. Closing
date: 15 January
