As an emerging method, serial crystallography with bright micro-focused X-ray beams from both synchrotron and free electron laser sources has shown great potentials for advancing the frontiers in structural biology. Delivery of hundreds and thousands of crystals in a controlled and nevertheless high-throughput and cost effective manner also presents unprecedented challenges. In a collaboration of SLS and SwissFEL, we are looking for a Beamline Scientist Sample Delivery for Serial Crystallography Your tasks Develop and implement solid-support sample delivery systems for micro-/nano-crystallography at synchrotron-radiation (SR) and X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) sources Actively participate in serial crystallography experiments at XFEL sources Further develop the SLS protein crystallography beamlines Your profile You hold a PhD degree in a natural science or related field and have several years of experience with the use of SR and related instrumentation. Working knowledge for protein crystallography would be a significant advantage. If you are a good team player with fine communication skills and sense of responsibility, this position will offer a great opportunity for you to develop your research career in an exciting and highly multidisciplinary environment. Exceptional candidates in the general area of MX with any additional skills relevant to SwissFEL may apply as well. We offer Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure. For further information please contact Dr Meitian Wang, phone +41 56 310 41 75 or Dr Rafael Abela, phone +41 56 310 32 71. Please submit your application online (including list of publications and addresses of referees) for the position as a Beamline Scientist (index no. 6112-01).
