Dear all, below please find a job advert for a Crystallisation Scientist at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK. Apologies for the hype. jan MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge Robotic Crystallisation Scientist The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology operates a shared high-throughput facility for the crystallisation of biological macromolecules. We have been at the forefront of this exciting technology since 2001 when we installed one of the first non-contact nanolitre robots in the UK and we have recently introduced a very successful new microtitre crystallisation plate. Our platform currently serves more than 70 users and has produced many high-profile structures, including the highest resolution structure of the 70S ribosome. To strengthen our team, we are looking for a highly motivated individual to help with users' crystallisation experiments, continued development, especially in the areas of visualisation, LIMS automation and crystallisation formats as well as day-to-day running of the facility. The three components (support, development and management) are expected to occupy about equal time of this position, creating a unique opportunity to participate in method development as well as supporting world-class Structural Biology at the LMB. For further information about our platform, please consult: http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/SS/Lowe_J/group/WWWrobots/robot.html. You will have a relevant university degree, good attention to detail and enjoy problem solving as well as training users in the use of the robotic equipment. Experience with the crystallisation of biological macromolecules is desirable and an aptitude to run, maintain and develop complex equipment would be advantageous. The appointment will be to MRC salary Band 4 with a starting salary in the range GBP 24,746 - 30,945 per annum (depending on qualifications and experience) supported by a flexible pay and reward system.
