TWO POSITIONS AVAILABLE AT THE MAX IV LABORATORY POSTDOC POSITION (2-year position, application deadline September 1st 2011)A postdoc position focusing on studies of how to best take radiation damage into account when collecting data, in particular at microfocus beamlines. This project is in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Schneider and Dr. Gleb Bourenkov at EMBL@PETRA III. More info see: http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/o.o.i.s?id=24914&Dnr=412211&Type=EU <http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/o.o.i.s?id=24914&Dnr=412211&Type=EU> For questions concerning the research project please contact Dr. Marjolein Thunnissen (marjolein.thunnissen_at_biochemistry.lu.se)
R&D POSITION (2-year position, application deadline September 1st 2011)A research and development position focusing on instrumentation and methods important for data collection quality, both at the present MAX-lab macromolecular crystallography beamlines (http://cassiopeia.maxlab.lu.se) and the future MX beamlines at the MAX IV facility (http://www.maxlab.lu.se/maxlab/max4/index.html): More info see: http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/o.o.i.s?id=24914&Dnr=412212&Type=EU <http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/o.o.i.s?id=24914&Dnr=412212&Type=EU>
Both positions include supporting operation of the present MAX-lab macromolecular crystallography beamlines.
FURTHER INFO AND APPLICATIONFollow the links above for some more information and please note that applications must be done on-line. Informal enquiries are welcome to Thomas Ursby (thomas.ursby_at_maxlab.lu.se).
SCIENTIFIC ENVIRONMENTThe MAX IV Laboratory is constructing a new facility and the same time operating the present MAX-lab facilities including two beamlines in user operation and a crystallization facility. The tunable I911-3 beamline has recently been upgraded with a completely new set-up including a MD2 micro-diffractometer, a CATS sample changer and a HC1 humidity controller device. The new facility will include a 3 GeV storage ring, a 1.5 GeV storage ring and a 3 GeV linac injector also serving a Short Pulse Facility. The construction started this year and the 3 GeV ring beamlines, including at least one MX beamline, are expected to be in user operation 2015-2016. The new MAX IV facility is being built next to the planned location of the European Spallation Source ESS (http://ess-scandinavia.eu). The MAX IV Laboratory is hosted by Lund University (http://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/about-lund-university) giving opportunities for collaborations with research at one of the largest, oldest and broadest universities in Scandinavia that is consistently ranked among the world's top 100 universities.
