We now have an opportunity for an experienced molecular structural biologist, at Post-Doctoral Research Associate level, to further support the structural biology activity on the I04 beamline in the field of chromatin remodelling and histone modification. These projects are pursued as part of the Diamond inhouse research programme and in collaboration with university partners.
Suitable candidates will hold an appropriate first degree and PhD and demonstrate proven relevant experience. We are looking for an experienced molecular biologist or biochemist with experience or a strong interest in structural biology and biophysical methods. Experience in a structural biology method (X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, SAXS) would be highly beneficial, and a keen interest in pursuing an integrated structural biology approach is expected. The candidate will join the team at the Diamond variable and microfocus macromolecular crystallography beamline I04 (https://www.diamond.ac.uk/Instruments/Mx/I04.html) , which is part of the MX Group at Diamond and offers capabilities for tackling challenging problems in structural biology. The MX group at Diamond presents 7 world-leading MX beamlines with unique capabilities and is complemented by dedicated beamlines for bioSAXS, CD, X-ray imaging and spectroscopy, IR-microspectroscopy, 3D Correlative Cryo-Imaging and the electron Bio-Imaging Centre (eBIC). In addition, the MX group has established the first dedicated X-ray fragment screening lab (XChem) and an XFEL hub which hosts users, and coordinates XFEL experiments. There is a strong software development programme that includes lead development of the DIALS integration software package, ISPyB/Synchweb and automation pipelines as well as collaborative projects with CCP4 and CCP-EM. This is complemented by provision of state-of-the-art laboratories for structural biology within the Research Complex at Harwell. Together with other world leading facilities (ISIS, CLF) on the campus and the Rosalind Franklin Institute (RFI) the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus site offers a stimulating and highly multidisciplinary environment.
