Dear MXers
We are recruiting two scientists to Diamond's XChem facility
<http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Beamlines/Mx/Fragment-Screening.html> to
expand its user programme for crystallographic fragment screening.
The facility, set up at beamline I04-1 in partnership with the
SGC-Oxford, is now routinely hosting users every week, allowing them to
find convincing fragment hits with a few days' worth of experiments. In
2017, over 30 users measured over 35,000 crystals in academic and
industrial XChem experiments.
Demand has been steadily increasing, and along with expanding the lab
facilities and available beamtime, we are setting up a dedicated team
that will be responsible for streamlining academic and industrial
access, and developing the methods to extend the experiment's scope and
ensure the programme is robust in the longer term.
Recruitment details are here
<http://www.diamond.ac.uk/Careers/Vacancies/All/016_18_CH.html> and here

(advertised separately for admin reasons).
