Dear all,
We have an opening for a highly motivated scientist in the Synchrotron
Crystallography team at the EMBL Grenoble Outstation.
This team works in close collaboration with the ESRF Structural Biology
Group in the operation and development of high performance
structural biology beamlines with the aim of impacting on challenging
structural biological problems. Towards this goal, as well as
providing world leading experimental facilities, the EMBL-ESRF Joint
Structural Biology Group also develops advanced instrumentation
and data collection methods.
The successful candidate will contribute to the operation and
development of methods for biological micro-crystallography on the ESRF
beamlines ID23-2 and/or ID29. The recent upgrade of ID23-2 to a high
intensity microfocus beam (~2 um in diameter), and installation
of a high performance MD3-Up diffracometer represents an excellent
opportunity to further develop techniques in biological micro-
crystallography. This position also allows the opportunity to contribute
in the complete upgrade of ID29 to provide an extremely high
intensity, tunable, and microfocus beamline for serial crystallography
data collection. He/She is expected to actively participate in local
and international initiatives aimed at the further development of
synchrotron serial and micro-crystallography techniques required to
maximise the scientific potential of ID23-2 and ID29 post ESRF Extremely
Brilliant Source upgrade.
The successful candidate should have a PhD degree in Structural Biology
or a related discipline and a minimum three years of post-doctoral
experience in MX data collection and analyses. A practical knowledge, or
an interest, in synchrotron beamline
instrumentation and developing new methods for micro-crystallography at
advanced light sources is essential. The candidate
should be familiar with the latest MX software developments. Experience
in computer programming would be advantageous.
The closing date for applications is the 31st of March and interviews
are currently planned for the 15th of May.
