I attach a description of the Vacancy Notice below. Deadline for
application is August 15th.

*Job description***
The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest
ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters
Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in
Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy).
The EMBL Hamburg Outstation at the DESY campus performs research in
structural biology with specific emphasis on the use of synchrotron
radiation. EMBL Hamburg runs two macromolecular crystallography (MX)
beamlines and a Small Angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) beamline at the
high-brillance storage ring PETRA-3.The EMBL BioSAXS group of the EMBL
has a strong experience in SAXS data collection, analysis and
interpretation, and runs a dedicated biological SAXS beamline on
Petra-3 ring providing support for over a hundred groups per year.
Applications are invited for a post-doctoral position in the BioSAXS
group in the frame of a collaborative project with research groups from
Germany and Chech Republic. The project, supported by a grant from the
German Research Foundation (DFG), deals with the SAXS studies of
nanoparticles - anticancer drug carriers. The successful candidate will
be involved in the collaborative work on the grant, in the operation of
the beamline and in the development of new experimental approaches and
biological sample environments including, in particular, anomalous and
time resolved scattering on biological specimens.
