EMBL Grenoble Staff Scientist : New SAXS Beamline on ID14-EH3 at the ESRF
Job description: A scientist is required to join a team within the
Partnership for Structural Biology (EMBL, ESRF, ILL and IBS,
http://psb.esrf.fr/) which is establishing a unique and integrated
SAXS-SANS platform, making use of the intense synchrotron X-ray and
neutron beams of respectively the ERSF and ILL. The successful candidate
will be responsible for construction, commissioning and user support of
a new state-of-the-art SAXS beamline, dedicated to biology, to be built
on undulator beamline ID14-EH3 at the ESRF. The beamline will cater to
the growing needs of the European structural biology community who wish
to combine SAXS studies with crystallography and other techniques.
He/She will benefit from strong technical support from the ESRF MX and
Soft Condensed Matter groups and other ESRF services as well as the EMBL
Grenoble diffraction instrumentation group. In addition there will be a
strong collaboration with the SAXS scientists from the EMBL Hamburg
Outstation both to transfer expertise and to provide test facilities
during the conception and construction phase of the future SAXS beamline
at Petra III in Hamburg. Beamline construction is expected
to proceed rapidly from the beginning of 2008 and be completed within
nine months.
*Qualifications and experience:* Applicants for this position are
expected to hold a PhD in a related specialization, as well as have
postdoctoral experience in instrumentation and software for small-angle
scattering in physics, chemistry or biology, preferably at a
synchrotron. At least some knowledge of, and demonstrable interest in,
biology is required.
Commencing date: As soon as possible following the closing date
Contract: An initial contract of 3 years will be offered to the
successful candidate.
This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at the time of review.
*Closing date*: 2 December 2007
