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. Working knowledge for data processing programs, and various phasing and refinement software is a must. Experience in computer programming would be a significant advantage. If you are a good team player with fine communication skills and sense of responsibility, this position will offer a great opportunity for you to develop your research career in an exciting and highly multidisciplinary environment.
