The Structural Molecular Biology group at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL, a division of SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) at Stanford University has an immediate opening for a Postdoctoral fellow within its Macromolecular Crystallography group. The candidate will work in a team of software developers and scientists to develop an automated system to integrate data collection, analysis and structure refinement, with the ultimate aim to provide a fully or partially complete model based on experimental data collected at the SSRL MX beamlines. Responsibilities will include testing and customizing different automated pipelines for data processing, and collaborating in the design and implementation of a Web-based user interface to access the software and the results on-line.
The candidate should possess an advanced degree (MS or PhD) or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, mathematics, physics, structural biology, or a related field. Substantial expertise is required in the field of Macromolecular Crystallography. Programming skills (e.g. Java, Python) are highly desirable. The candidate must possess excellent verbal and written communications skills, and the ability to work closely with an R&D development team. E-mail CV or inquiry to Ana Gonzalez (a...@slac.stanford.edu) or Mike Soltis (sol...@slac.stanford.edu)
