Brief job description: The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) Grenoble Outstation has an active research program in structural and molecular biology, making particular use of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). The Grenoble Instrumentation Group develops, supports and operates ESRF beamlines in collaboration with the ESRF MX-group. The group is also actively involved in the development of instruments and methods for x-ray scattering experiments.


The Diffraction Instrumentation Group wishes to recruit a postdoctoral fellow to assess, support and promote the use of a newly developed dehydration device for improving the diffraction quality of macromolecular crystals at synchrotron beamlines. This project is part of the European SPINE2-COMPLEXES program (http://www.spine2.eu/index.php). It would involve participation to the operation of the MRC/EMBL BM14 CRG beamline, and collaboration with the Diamond and Max-Lab synchrotrons.


A BBSRC PhD studentship (for UK students only - EU students may be eligible for funding)
In parallel with this work, and using the new data collection tools we are currently developing, the successful candidate is also expected to be involved in the development of new methods to efficiently collect complete diffraction datasets from micro-crystals.

University of London.


A provisional project title is "Conformational changes during the photocycle of a
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in structural biology and have received outstanding training in macromolecular crystallography. We expect from the candidate to have a strong interest in instrumentation and methodologies. Experience in crystallisation, X-Ray data collection at synchrotron, data processing, structural solution and model building is required .  Strong motivation and excellent scientific skills are essential, as well as willingness to support synchrotron users and to collaborate with external institutes in Europe. The candidate should be comfortable in working in a multidisciplinary team, and in an international environment.

The main requirement is for a motivated and qualified scientist with a commitment to
solving important biological problems by means of structural analysis, including X-ray
crystallography.
 
Please bring this opportunity to the attention of any interested graduate or final-year
undergraduate in your research group or department.
 
Applicants are invited to apply at the earliest opportunity. The position is open until
filled.
