Post-doctoral Associate - Biological Small-Angle Solution Scattering
Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source
The Macromolecular Diffraction Facility of the Cornell High-Energy
Synchrotron Source (MacCHESS) has an opening for a post-doctoral
associate. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a field relevant to
structural biology. Preference will be given to those with experience in
x-ray solution scattering on biological systems (SAXS and WAXS). The
successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with visiting
research groups collecting data at MacCHESS. Activities will include
applying state-of-the art algorithms to BioSAXS data, modeling
macromolecular complexes, or studying conformationally- variable
regions of proteins. Experience in developing hardware and software
for automation including microfluidics is also desirable.
Located on an ivy-league university campus in picturesque upstate New
York, the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) serves a
world-wide user base of structural biologists, chemists, physicists, and
engineers. MacCHESS is an NIH-supported National Resource providing
support for structural biology at CHESS. MacCHESS is a heavily team-
oriented environment. Good clear communication skills are a must,
including fluency in the English language.
This position is a 1-year appointment, renewable for up to 3 years
total, contingent upon availability of funds and employee performance.
Qualified candidates should provide an application and arrange for at
least three letters of reference to be sent to:
Dr. Marian Szebenyi, Chair
Postdoctoral Associate Search Committee
Newman Lab, Cornell University
Ithaca, NY 14853 USA
Applications should include a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a
publication list, and a detailed summary of research experience and
interests. Electronic submissions and inquiries may be addressed to
[email protected].
Deadline for application is September 30, 2009. Starting date is
negotiable. Cornell is an equal opportunity employer.
