*EMBL Grenoble Team Leader: Synchrotron Methods for Structural Biology
Job Description*: We are looking for a structural biologist who has a
focus on advanced crystallographic methods and instrumentation,
particularly with relation to synchrotron radiation. The appointed Team
Leader will manage, together with the Head of Outstation, the long-term
collaboration between the EMBL Grenoble Outstation and the European
Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) concerning the development and
operation of the automated protein crystallography beamlines. He/she
will oversee the activities of the three existing EMBL beamline
scientists currently responsible for the dedicated microfocus beamline
ID23-2, the MAD beamline ID14-EH4 and the CRG beamline BM14 (co-operated
with MRC-France) as well as a SAXS beamline scientist currently under
recruitment. He/she will collaborate in particular with the Outstation
Diffraction Instrumentation team led by Florent Cipriani, which has
developed state-of-the-art sample handling equipment currently installed
on all ESRF MX beamlines (microdiffractometer, sample changer,
minikappa) and with the ESRF MX group led by Sean McSweeney. He/she will
develop a research programme focused on advanced crystallographic
methods and instrumentation coupled to structural biological problems or
more generally on new synchrotron techniques that might have an impact
in biology and which take advantage of the unique environment at the
world-leading 3rd generation synchrotron site in Grenoble.
*Commencing date:* As soon as possible following the closing date*
Contract:* An initial contract of 3 years will be offered to the
