VACANCY
The Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL), situated in Grenoble, France, is Europe's
leading research facility for fundamental research using neutrons. The ILL
operates the brightest neutron source in the world, reliably delivering
intense neutron beams to 40 unique scientific instruments. The Institute
welcomes 1700 visiting scientists per year to carry out world class research
in solid state physics, crystallography, soft matter, biology, chemistry and
fundamental physics. Funded primarily by its three founder members: France,
Germany and the United Kingdom, the ILL has also signed scientific
collaboration agreements with 9 other European countries.
The Science Division currently has a vacancy for a:
RESEARCH SCIENTIST(M/F) in NEUTRON PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY
There is currently an opening in the Large Scale Structures group of the
ILL for a scientist interested in the structure of biological macromolecules
to work in the field of NEUTRON PROTEIN CRYSTALLOGRAPHY using the image
plate diffractometer LADI(http://www.ill.fr/YellowBookCDrom/data/6_5_5.pdf).
A new improved, version of the diffractometer, LADI3, has recently been
delivered and will be commissioned in the coming months.
The post, which is offered on a fixed-term basis, represents an excellent
opportunity for a young postdoctoral scientist to develop his expertise,
broaden his experience and interact with leading scientists from around the
world. More experienced scientists on detachment will also be considered.
The successful candidate will hold a PhD and have experience in
biological crystallography and an interest in both instrumental and software
development in this field. He/she will be jointly responsible for the
development and operation of the instrument in collaboration with personnel
from the EMBL. The ILL is an active partner with EMBL, ESRF and IBS in the
Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) a dynamic on-site collaboration
between several Grenoble-based institutes. The presence within this
partnership of a new facility for in vivo Deuteration will give the
successful candidate the opportunity of carrying out his/her own research in
the best-equipped environment for biological neutron diffraction in the
world.
The successful candidate will be offered a fixed-term contract, the
duration of which will under no circumstances exceed five (5) years. In
addition to a competitive salary, certain benefits (reimbursement of removal
expenses, adaptation allowance, etc.) may be offered.
Further information on the Large Scale Structures group and its
activities can be obtained at http://www.ill.fr/LSS and on the PSB at
http://psb.esrf.fr or from: Dr P. A. Timmins (Tel: (33) 476207263,

An application with curriculum vitae, a list of publications and the
names of two academic referees should be sent, quoting reference 06/36, no
later than 1 September 2006, preferably in electronic form to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or posted to:
