[ccp4bb] Postdoc position at SLS MX group
Postdoctoral Fellow Protein Crystallography Your tasks With stable light source, flexible optics, multi-axes goniometer (PRIGO), and advanced pixel detector (PILATUS) at beamline X06DA at the SLS, this postdoctoral position offers you a unique opportunity to develop smart diffraction data collection strategies for advanced phasing and challenging crystallographic projects. In order to fully exploit the potential of the experimental data, you will also work on the optimization of data processing, scaling, and structure solution within international collaborations. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to the integration of data collection strategy, data processing, assessment, and structure solution procedures into the beamline user interface. In addition, you will conduct your own structural biology research in collaboration with PSI internal and external partners. Your profile You hold a PhD degree in biology, chemistry or physics, and have substantial experience in protein crystallography.

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position at SLS
Postdoctoral Fellow Protein Crystallography at SLS Your tasks As part of the development of next generation micro-crystallography at the undulator beamline X06SA, you will be involved in micro-focussing optics and micro-diffractometer upgrades. You will also be responsible for conceiving and implementing novel crystallographic data acquisition and analysis tools to exploit the full potential of new beamline optics, advanced pixel-array detector, and automation. You will work with experienced synchrotron scientists and will interact with user groups as a local contact at the MX-beamlines. In addition, you will conduct your own structural biology research in collaboration with PSI internal and external partners. Your profile You hold a PhD degree in physics or (bio-) chemistry, and have several years of experience in protein crystallography. Competence in X-ray optics, synchrotron beamline instrumentation and automation would be a significant advantage.

[ccp4bb] Postdoc position at SLS
Postdoctoral Fellow Your task You are responsible for the development of an extension of the fast global electron beam orbit feedback system, with the aim to stabilize the X-ray beam in position and angle at the position of the sample over a wide frequency range. To this end you will characterize the dynamic response properties of the electron beam and X-ray beam position monitors. Based on these results, beam dynamics studies will be carried out to determine the influence of the envisaged feedback system extension on the global orbit stability. The system will require a completely transparent X-ray optical system. Automatic initialization, self calibration and analytical modeling of the beam- transport by means of geometrical optics is hence a prerequisite. Feedback interlocks will be necessary in order to minimize the risk of accidental orbit distortions or even beam dumps due to the system.Since your contribution is most critical for the operation of the SLS you will have to design, implement and test the feedback system extension in close collaboration with the responsible beam dynamics and diagnostic experts as well as the corresponding beam line scientists. Your profile You hold a PhD degree in physics, with experience in theoretical and experimental accelerator physics in the fields of beam optics or in the field of X-ray optics. You are a skilled user of common related software tools (e.g. MAD, Elegant, MATLAB, XOP, SRW) and a programming language, ideally C/C++. You have basic knowledge of electronics and related measurement techniques. Experience in simulation of X-ray beam lines is advantageous. You enjoy the work in an interdisciplinary and multi-national research team. You are motivated to expand your knowledge and experience and look forward to the development of novel feedback systems exploiting synergies between the accelerator and the beam line domain. Good communication skills in English are expected, knowledge of German is advantageous.
