To the CCP4BB members:
We are seeking to hire a protein crystallographer to work on a new project in our group. Funding is currently available to support the position for one year, with the possibility of renewal at the end of this time. We are looking for someone with 2-5 years of experience beyond their Ph.D. - a newly minted doctorate will likely not have enough experience for the job, while someone with many years of experience in the field would probably not be interested in the salary range we are considering. Also, please note that, as a small non-profit organization, we are unable to provide relocation costs, so applicants from beyond the New York area should keep this in mind. Applications should be directed to me ([email protected]). The text of the job advertisement follows: The New York Structural Biology Center is a shared research organization, owned and operated by ten universities and medical schools in the New York area, and devoted to the structural analysis of biological processes through the use of NMR, X-ray crystallography, and electron microscopy. We are currently expanding our crystallography lab to begin work on a new project involving the large-scale determination of many protein structures. We are seeking an experienced crystallographer to be an integral part of this work. The successful candidate will work with two other crystallographers and three research assistants, collaborating on all aspects of the structure determination pipeline, from large-scale clone design and construction, to protein expression and purification, to synchrotron data collection, structure determination and PDB submission, to writing research articles describing the significant findings. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in protein crystallography, with 2 - 5 years of postdoctoral experience. A proven track record of multiple successful structure determinations is required. Previous experience with protein expression and purification, and/or cell culture, is highly desirable. Some managerial experience, while not necessary, would be helpful. Salary level is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Thank you for your attention to this. - Matt Franklin -- Matthew Franklin, Ph. D.
