[ccp4bb] Position Opening: Synchrotron Macromolecular Crystallographer @ IMCA-CAT

2019-06-28 Thread Lisa J. Keefe 
Dear Colleagues,


POSITION:  Synchrotron Macromolecular Crystallographer
LOCATION:  IMCA-CAT at the Advanced Photon Source (near Chicago, IL)


The Industrial Macromolecular Crystallography Association - Collaborative 
Access Team (IMCA-CAT) and the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute 
(HWI) seek an inventive macromolecular crystallographer to join the IMCA-CAT 
team in accelerating pharmaceutical drug discovery through synchrotron-based 
structural biology research. As an employee of HWI, you will be based at the 
center of the team’s operations at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne 
National Laboratory, near Chicago, IL. This is an ideal position for a 
motivated scientist who is passionate about delivering strategic value, 
developing new technologies, and working in a high- powered, collaborative 
environment.


DESCRIPTION:
This is an exciting time to join IMCA-CAT. Underway this summer is the first of 
a two-phase upgrade that will significantly increase throughput and establish a 
strong foundation upon which to build capacity. The second phase upgrade, 
currently in design, will profoundly increase capacity and dramatically expand 
capability for challenging research projects.

The successful candidate will be an integral part of these upgrade activities 
while maintaining flow of diffraction data for pharmaceutical research 
projects. The candidate will work closely with IMCA-CAT colleagues in an 
inclusive and respectful environment, and is expected to take initiative and 
contribute to the team effort.

On any given day, you will do one or all of these things:
• Contribute to drug discovery research efforts using a growing 
portfolio of synchrotron sources.
• Enhance the structural biology programs for pharmaceutical 
structure-based drug design.
• Provide experiment support for scientists from the structural biology 
community who conduct research using the IMCA-CAT synchrotron beamlines.
• Ensure beamline instrumentation is operational and produces data of 
the highest quality.
• Expand the experiment envelope of the beamline.
• Establish efficient protocols for accelerating data acquisition while 
enhancing data security.
• Develop automated methods for acquiring quality data from challenging 
samples.
• Participate in highly collaborative working groups.
• Engage in the technical development of new strategies for ultra-high 
throughput.
• Collaborate with staff on strategically-aligned research and 
development projects.
• Communicate with researchers and present at meetings.
• Conduct independent and/or collaborative research.


DESIRED SKILLS and EXPERIENCE:
• PhD in a relevant field.
• Expertise in macromolecular crystallography.
• Outstanding experimental skills.
• Considerable mechanical skills.
• Highly collaborative and team-oriented approach to conducting work 
and solving problems.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Deeply proactive approach to meeting and exceeding goals.
• Ability to meet requirements for site access to Argonne National 
Laboratory.


TO APPLY:
Send an introductory email, cv, and contact information for three references to 
Lisa Keefe, IMCA-CAT Director and HWI Vice President of Advancing Therapeutics, 
at ke...@imca-cat.org .

Hi,
there is a guide here, but you should get the proper script for Pymol
from the Consurf server.
