Dear CCP4BB members,
please bring this to the attention of anyone who might be interested in the
positions mentioned below.
We have an opening for three MX support scientist positions to work on the
MX beamlines at Diamond Light Source.
DIA0205/LV - Support Scientists- Macromolecular Crystallography Beamlines I02,
I03, I04
Diamond Light Source Ltd, a new joint venture company, is currently
constructing the largest scientific facility to be built in the UK for 30
years. The Diamond synchrotron light source, located at Chilton, will consist
of three accelerators - a 100MeV linac, a 3 GeV booster synchrotron and a 562m
circumference 3 GeV storage ring - and an initial complement of 7 beamlines
which will be operational for users from 2007.
The positions will be based on state-of-the art macromolecular crystallography
beamlines which will be commissioning during 2006 and begin operation at the
start of 2007. The beamlines will use in-vacuum undulators to generate X-rays
in the range of 5-25 keV. Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors will be used to focus the
X-ray beam to 100µm x 100µm. The beamlines will be equipped with tiled array
CCD detectors and robotic sample changers in order to allow the rapid
collection of high quality macromolecular crystallography data. Particular
emphasis is being placed on ensuring the software developed to control the
beamline is robust and user friendly. In addition one of the beamlines is
being developed to allow data collection on samples from Category 3 pathogens.
Duties
Each support scientist will work with the beamline team to:
* Complete the beamline commissioning, in particular the experimental
equipment.
* Assist the user community in performing experiments at Diamond
* Test samples sent to Diamond by users
* Participate in projects to improve and upgrade the facilities provided
for the
users of the MX beamlines.
The main purpose of these posts is to provide high quality scientific support
to users to ensure the effective use of the Diamond MX beamlines.
