The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Grenoble has an active research andinternationalvisitorsprograminstructuralmolecularbiology,makingparticularuseofsynchrotronX-raysandcryo-electronmicroscopyasstructuredeterminationtechniques.
EMBL Grenoble shares the European Photon and Neutron Science (EPN) Campus with theEuropean Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF), the /Institut Laue Langevin /(ILL)and theFrench national /Institut de Biologie Structurale /(IBS), whose complementary and integratedfacilitiesprovideaveryrich environment forstructural biologists.
TheEMBLGrenobleInstrumentationTeam(https://www.embl.org/groups/grenoble- <http://www.embl.org/groups/grenoble->instrumentation/) designs and builds state-of-the-art, automated sample handling instrumentationforhigh-throughputcrystallisation(e.g.theCrystalDirectautomatedharvestingrobot),macromolecular crystallography (e.g. the MD2 and MD3 micro/nano diffractometers and Flex-HCD frozen crystal sample changer), small-angle scattering (e.g. sample changer and multi-modalsampleexposureunit),X-rayimaging(versatilesampleholders)andcryo-electronmicroscopy (automated cryo-grid preparation for cells and single-particles). The team is alsoresponsible for operational deployment and subsequent support, IP protection and technologytransfer to industry. The team collaborates closely with end-user scientists including the in houseHigh-throughput Crystallisation and Synchrotron Diffraction Teams, the European SynchrotronRadiation Facility for technology implementation on jointly run X-ray beamlines, the ImagingCenteratEMBLHeidelbergandwithEMBLHamburg,whichrunsX-raybeamlinesforstructuralbiologyonthePetra IIIsynchrotronatDESY, aswellasothersynchrotronsites.
*Your role*** **EMBL Grenoble is seeking to recruit a visionary team leader with demonstrable engineeringexpertiseinthedesign,constructionanddeploymentofstate-of-the-art,highlyautomatedscientific instrumentation. The selected candidate will lead a team (currently 8 members) ofscientists, engineers and technicians that develop, upgrade and maintain gold-standard, sample-handlinginstrumentationforstructuralbiology(macromolecularcrystallography,electronmicroscopy/tomography) and bioimaging (X-ray imaging, CLEM). Projects typically involve theintegrationofcomplexworkflows,oftenatcryogenictemperatures,usinghighprecisionmechatronictechniquesandresultinginrobust,automatedequipmentwithauser-friendlyinterface. The team leader will develop innovative solutions in collaboration with scientists andmanage instrument design, construction, testing, deployment and maintenance. Publication ofresults and potential technology transfer to the industry are also expected. As a member ofEMBL’s faculty, the candidate will take part in strategic discussions about future directions, andproactively engage in acquiring financial support for projects through national French or EUgrants.
*Youhave*** **Applicants should have an advanced degree in engineering, computer science, image analysis orroboticsandseveralyearsofexperienceinthedevelopmentofinnovative,highprecisionautomated scientific instrumentation in either industry or academia. The candidate should alsohave demonstrable experience in project management involving recruiting and coordinating amultidisciplinary team of mechatronic engineers to produce innovative scientific instrumentationtostate-of-the-art industrial standardswithin challengingtimelines.
Proactive and self-motivated, the ideal candidate is able to communicate and defend his/her workin English, but also appreciates working in a team and is capable of sharing decisions.
