Research Associate (Postdoc) Position for XFEL Science in the Group of Marius Schmidt November 2021 We are seeking outstanding candidate(s) for one or two post-doctoral position(s) t to begin as soon as possible. The successful applicant will become part of an interdisciplinary team at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee (UWM) that aims to solve important biological questions using ultra-brilliant, pulsed X-ray sources such as the expanding global network of free-electron X-ray laser facilities (see e.g. Tenboer et al., 2014, Science; Pande et al. 2016, Science; Olmos et al., 2018, BMC-Biology; Pandey et al., 2019 Nature Methods, Hosseinizadeh et al., 2021 Nature). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be productive with significant national and international recognition, work with a team of UWM faculty supported by BioXFEL (a National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center, STC), and collaborate within the STC network - a consortium of eight universities across the U.S.. Beamtime opportunities at the LCLS, European XFEL and SACLA are available. This is a unique opportunity to enter this highly innovative field. Research areas of interest include, but are not limited to: time-resolved crystallography, biophysics, time-resolved optical spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and imaging, and enzymology. UWM is in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, at Lake Michigan, close to the Chicago greater area. Minimum Qualifications: • Doctorate in (Bio) Physics, Biology, (Bio) Chemistry or a related field. • A demonstrated record of research accomplishments (papers). • Willingness to travel to synchrotrons and free electron X-ray lasers in the US, Europe and Japan to collect data. • Familiarity with use of computers, and basic programming skills are a plus.
