Queen Mary is one of the UK's leading research-intensive institutions, joining 
the Russell Group in 2012, recently ranked in the top 10 of UK Universities 
(REF2014) and frequently ranked in the top 100 in the world QS ranking. QMUL 
has made a strategic commitment to world-class research and teaching across all 
its disciplines. The School of Biological and Chemical Sciences is a large and 
expanding academic unit, which provides a supportive and friendly environment 
and encourages interdisciplinary research. We are investing in the acknowledged 
strengths in the School to advance its areas of internationally-competitive 
activity.
Applications are invited from candidates who will contribute to the delivery of 
high-quality research, teaching and administration in the School of Biological 
and Chemical Sciences by:
Making significant research contributions in Structural Cell Biology as 
demonstrated by recent papers in high quality journals and competitively 
awarded research grant income or convincing potential to generate income. We 
are particularly keen to recruit someone who can further develop the use of 
state-of-the-art approaches to cell structure such as cryo-electron tomography 
and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. The ability to contribute to one 
or more of our research strengths in Chromosome biology, Structural Biology, 
Bioenergetics, Microbial Cell Biology, Cell Signalling or Healthy ageing would 
be an advantage.
o   Teaching and the assessment of student achievement in Biochemistry, 
Biomedical Sciences or Physiology.
o   Contributing to the administration of these and other College activities.
It is expected that the successful candidate will possess a PhD in Biology and 
/ or relevant professional qualification and / or equivalent professional 
experience.  At the Lecturer level some experience in teaching at undergraduate 
and/or postgraduate level in large or small group settings with the 
demonstrable ability to deliver teaching at both levels with some guidance is 
required, together with an appropriate track-record of high quality research in 
the field of Biology is required.
At the Senior Lecturer level, ability in teaching at undergraduate and/or 
postgraduate level in large or small group settings with the demonstrable 
ability to deliver teaching at both levels is essential, and a proven 
track-record of high quality research in the field of Structural Cell Biology 
is required.
The School is committed to Athena SWAN principles to promote women in science; 
we positively welcome applications from women and black and ethnic minorities, 
who are currently under-represented in the school. A competitive remuneration 
package and start-up funds are negotiable, but we will also be happy to 
consider applications from people with their own funding who wish to explore 
proleptic positions in the School.

experience, qualifications and track record.
Benefits include 30 days annual leave, childcare vouchers scheme, pension 
scheme and interest-free season ticket loan.
For informal enquiries, please contact the Head of the Department of Cell & 
Molecular Biology, Professor Conrad Mullineaux via: 
c.mulline...@qmul.ac.uk
For further information about the School, please visit the School's website on: 
http://www.sbcs.qmul.ac.uk.
Applicants must include their CV, which should include a two page summary of 
their proposed research at QMUL.
The closing date for completed applications is 22 March 2020, with interviews 
expected to be held shortly thereafter.

[ccp4bb] User Call for MAX IV BioMAX beamtime, period September 2020 - August 2022, deadline March 17, 2020

[Uwe Müller]

Dear all,
MAX IV in Lund, Sweden has opened the call to receive proposals requesting 
beamtime at BioMAX for the period September 2020 - February 2021 for normal 
proposals and from September 2020 - August. 2022 for BAG proposals.

In order to submit a new proposal, please visit this page:

https://www.maxiv.lu.se/users/proposal-calls/

BioMAX is working in regular user operation and is providing 8-24h beamtime to 
individual users or BAG user groups. Within the next beam period we are aiming 
to increase the amount of remote beamline operation as an additional access 
scheme to the international user community. The beam line is under continuous 
commissioning and will offer the following features during the next user period:

• Variable beam focus down to 20x5 µm^2 at the sample position at full photon 
flux (can be further reduced by apertures down to 5x5 µm^2)
• 2 x 10^13 Phot/sec at 250 mA ring filling at sample position
• Standard exposure time 11 msec / frame, corresponding to 10-60% 
transmission
• Tuneable energy range 5-20 keV
• MAD capabilities
• Raster scan mode
• Helical scan mode
• Serial crystallography applications using high viscosity extrusion 
injector and fixed target scanner (MD3 based)
• Sample changer operation using Uni-pucks, < 25 sec sample exchange time
• Eiger 16M hybrid pixel detector 130 Hz frame rate for 16M mode
• MD3-micro diffractometer, 150 nm sphere-of-confusion for micro-crystal 
centring
• HC-lab crystal dehydration device with fast nozzle changer for crystal 
dehydration and room temperature data collections
• MXCuBE3 experiment control software & ISPyB database support
• Automatic data processing during data collection
• Offline remote access for manual data processing
• Standard crystallographic software installed
• >1000 core HPC environment available online and offline access
• Sample preparation laboratory for crystal handling
• S1 bio-safety level bio-laboratory in close vicinity

In addition, we are inviting to send in proposal for fragment screening within 
our newly available FragMAX screening facility. Further information can be 
found here:
