Beamline Scientist position at Diamond Light Source (UK) A permanent position as beamline scientist in the MX group at Diamond Light Source is now available. We currently have 3 operational tuneable MX beamlines, with a tuneable microfocus beamline and a fixed wavelength beamline becoming operational during the next year.
We are looking for a crystallographer who wants to take part in everyday life at the synchrotron and with technical interest/experience. Our main focus is of course to provide the best possible beamlines to our user community; hence responsibilities include beamline development and operation together with the existing beamline team of scientists and technicians. In-house research is important for the MX group and the position offers involvement in a range of interesting projects depending on interests, e.g. structural biology projects, improving endstation design and functionality, software developments, automated data processing, kappa goniometry, crystal dehydration, spectroscopy. We are located in Oxfordshire at the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, next door to the MRC led Research Complex at Harwell (opening in 2009), ISIS neutron source, the Central Laser Facility, and other specialised institutions. We are also keen to collaborate with other Diamond beamlines and promote "cross beamline" projects. In addition, we have well-equipped laboratories for structural biology projects and collaborate with the Membrane Protein Laboratory at Diamond, a collaboration between Imperial College London and Diamond, funded by the Wellcome Trust. We have already established a number of membrane protein projects, focusing on transporters, but it is also possible to start own projects.
