Crystallization Facility Scientist Your tasks You will lead a joint facility between the MX-Group at the Swiss Light Source (SLS) and the BMR-Group at the Department of Biology and Chemistry, and build a high-throughput crystallisation platform. The facility aims at providing professional crystallisation services with 'standard' and lipidic cubic phase methods at 4 and 20 ºC. In collaboration with scientists and engineers of the MX-Group you will further develop the available in situ X-ray diffraction screening capabilities. In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in the development of protein micro-diffraction to exploit the synchrotron-based micro-focus X-ray beam as well as X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) capabilities of the Paul Scherrer Institute. Your profile You hold a PhD degree in biology or chemistry, and have significant experience in crystallisation methods and protein crystallography. Practical knowledge in synchrotron related research and in project management is of advantage. If you are self-motivated, flexible, and a good team player this position will offer great opportunities to establish your research career in an exciting and highly multidisciplinary environment. For further information please contact Dr Meitian Wang, phone +41 56 310 41 75, Dr Vincent Olieric, phone +41 56 310 52 33 or Prof. Dr Michel Steinmetz, phone +41 56 310 47 54. Please submit your application online (including list of publications and addresses of referees) for the position as a Crystallization Facility Scientist (index no. 6112-03).
