*Biological Neutron Crystallography at EMBL Grenoble and the Institut
Laue-Langevin*
*Job description:* We seek a postdoctoral research fellow to work in the
field of neutron protein crystallography using the newly upgraded
neutron Laue diffractometer, LADI-III, at the Institute Laue Lamgevin
(ILL). As well as developing their own research projects, the successful
candidate will assist in the running of the LADI-III user program by
providing support for visiting scientists in planning and performing
neutron crystallography experiments and in most cases collaborating
closely on the analysis and interpretation of the data. He/She will also
be involved in the development and implementation of software for
neutron protein crystallography.
EMBL and ILL, together with the ESRF and IBS, form the Partnership for
Structural Biology (PSB, http://psb.esrf.fr/index.html) a dynamic
on-site collaboration between several Grenoble-based national and
international structural biology institutes. The PSB runs a facility for
in vivo deuteration which will give the successful candidate the
opportunity to carry out his or her research in the leading environment
for biological neutron diffraction in the world. The post represents an
excellent opportunity for a young postdoctoral scientist to develop
their expertise, broaden their experience and interact with leading
scientists from around the world.
*Qualifications:* The candidate must hold a PhD and have a strong
interest and scientific in structural biology. Experience in either
X-ray or neutron macromolecular crystallography is required and
knowledge of scientific programming would be advantageous. Good
communication skills and the ability to collaborate with international
teams are essential.
*Contract:* A contract of 2 years will be offered to the successful
candidate
*Closing date:* 15 April 2007
