Dear CCP4bb We are looking for a highly motivated and skilful Post Doctoral Research Associate to join the MX group at Diamond as member of the I02 beamline team. You will take on a number of ongoing challenging structural biology projects themed around membrane transporter proteins and join our efforts to improve methods for sample handling and data collection.
Our target proteins are P-type ATPase and ABC transporters and we benefit from a close collaboration with the Membrane Protein Laboratory at Diamond. We also have a huge interest in continued development of beamline experiments, crystal manipulation, and room temperature data collection. Within Life Sciences at Diamond we also have a range of beamlines dedicated to techniques other than crystallography, and we encourage cross beamline projects which make use of CD, SAXS, and IR spectroscopy, to take advantage of our unique location. We also foresee use of the facilities within the newly opened MRC led Research Complex at Harwell as well as other facilities on site which is a true scientific hub providing numerous enabling facilities. For further information please see http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Home/Jobs/Current/DIA0572-TH.html Application deadline November 12th, 2010. Best wishes Prof. Thomas Sorensen Principal Beamline Scientist I02 Diamond Light Source
