Dear Fellow Crystallographers,
There is a permanent scientific position opening on the PROXIMA 2 beamline at Synchrotron SOLEIL (see below). We are looking for candidates with a background & post-doctoral experience in macromolecular crystallography and instrumentation. Please note the the deadline is 30 September 2009. Kind regards, William SHEPARD ------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. William SHEPARD Principal Beamline Scientist PROXIMA II Synchrotron SOLEIL L'Orme des Merisiers Saint Aubin, BP 48 F-91192 GIF-SUR-YVETTE France tel: +33 1 69 35 96 36 fax: +33 1 69 35 94 56 william.shep...@synchrotron-soleil.fr <mailto:william.shep...@synchrotron-soleil.fr> Beamline Scientist PROXIMA 2 (m/f) (Ref: EXP-102) SOLEIL is a state-of-the-art, third generation synchrotron radiation centre dedicated to scientific research at an international level. The PROXIMA 2 beamline will feature two undulators in canted geometry providing for two independent experimental stations dedicated to biological macromolecular crystallography (MX). The first branch, PROXIMA 2A, will specialize in the collection of diffraction data from micro-crystals and will start commissioning in 2010. The second branch, PROXIMA 2B, is reserved for the future, and its objectives and design are currently under study. We are seeking a motivated scientist with a strong background in MX. Candidates must have hands-on experience working with instrumentation on synchrotron MX beamlines. The duties will include the installation & commissioning of the beamline, as well as the development of methodologies related to micro-crystallography. Computing & programming skills are desired. Experience in sample preparation and laboratory techniques will be appreciated. This is a permanent scientific position in the PROXIMA 2A team with ample opportunities to conduct in-house research. A Ph.D. degree (or equivalent), plus post-doctoral experience, in MX and instrumentation is a prerequisite for this position. You will be part of a team of scientists who ensure the construction, commissioning and smooth functioning of the PROXIMA beamlines. You will also be expected to conduct research at a high level in a field pertaining to structural biology employing synchrotron radiation. The research may be pursued either independently or in collaboration. Applications including the addresses of three referees should be registered directly on the SOLEIL internet site http://candidature.synchrotron-soleil.fr/YourApplication <mailto:http://candidature.synchrotron-soleil.fr/VotreCandidature> .
