We are still accepting applications for the staff scientist position described below. Here's a chance to work at a beamline that specializes in non-standard experiments, and to contribute to deciding what direction development at MacCHESS will take over the next few years.
Staff Scientist position at MacCHESS The Macromolecular Diffraction Facility of the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (MacCHESS) has an opening for a Staff Scientist (Research Associate) to run the Flexible Crystallography (FlexX) station. Duties include both support of users performing routine macromolecular crystallography (MX) and development of novel techniques in X-ray scattering as applied to structural biology. User support includes continuing developments to maintain a state-of-the-art facility. Novel techniques are developed in collaboration with scientists who need capabilities beyond the current standard methods. Areas of particular interest are crystallography at (1) ambient temperature, including serial techniques, and (2) high pressure, in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) or using the high pressure cryocooling technique, especially for the trapping of intermediate states of reactions in crystallo. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field (biophysics, structural biology etc.), and at least 3 years of experience beyond the degree. Preference will be given to those with experience with methods related to X-ray scattering experiments, and to those who have worked at a synchrotron facility. Good clear communication skills are a must, including fluency in the English language. Appointments are nominally for three years and are renewable, contingent upon availability of funds and employee performance. Located on an Ivy League university campus in picturesque upstate New York, the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) serves a world-wide user base of structural biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers. MacCHESS is an NIH-supported National Resource providing support for structural biology at CHESS. Applications should be submitted at http://academicjobsonline.org/ (posting #20601) and should include a cover letter, a CV, a list of publications, and a detailed summary of research experience and interests. Please arrange to have at least three letters of recommendation sent, as per instructions on the academicjobsonline website. The starting date is negotiable.
