The Paul Scherrer Institute is with 1300 employees the largest
research centre for the natural and engineering sciences in
Switzerland and a worldwide
leading user laboratory. Its research activities are concentrated on
the three main topics of solid-state physics, energy and environmental
research as
well as human health. The Swiss Light Source (SLS) at PSI is a world-
class synchrotron radiation facility devoted to high-profile research
in the natural
sciences. The SLS operates two high performance undulator beam lines
for protein crystallography and a state-of-the-art bending magnet beam
line with
integrated crystallisation facility. The Macromolecular
Crystallography group is involved in several aspects of protein
crystallography including the design
and construction of new beam line components as well as various
structural biology projects.
We are looking for a Group Leader Macromolecular
