Beamline Scientist
Protein crystallography beamline at Swiss Light Source (SLS)
Your tasks
The undulator beamline X06SA comprises two complimentary endstations,
a high resolution and a micro-diffractometer. In order to fully
exploit the potential of both diffractometers with advanced pixel
detectors and multi-axes goniometry, you will conceive and implement
novel crystallographic data acquisition tools. Furthermore, you will
be involved in the design and development of the next generation
protein micro-crystallography at SLS. Besides the aforementioned
tasks, you will be in charge of beamline operation and user support.
The position offers the opportunity to develop an independent
scientific research programme in the field of protein crystallography
or protein crystallographic methods development including the
supervision of PhD students and postdocs. The infrastructure of the
PSI Structural Biology Group will be available for you to pursue your
own structural biology research projects.
Your profile
You hold a PhD degree in physics or (bio-)chemistry, and have several
years of experience in synchrotron beamline instrumentation and
protein crystallography. Knowledge of micro-diffraction techniques
would be of advantage. If you are a good team player with fine
communication skills and sense of responsibility, this position will
offer a great opportunity for you to develop your research career in
an exciting and highly multidisciplinary environment.
