Dear Colleagues,
just a reminder that the closing date for this exciting position is 12th
October - I would be grateful if you could pass it on to suitable
candidates. The position would suit someone looking to get into method
and beamline development while still doing important translational
research. Best wishes, Matt.
Dear All,
we have a post-Doc position available here at EMBL Grenoble shared
between the high throughput crystallisation team
(https://www.embl.fr/services/ht_crystallisation/index.html) and the
synchrotron team (https://www.embl.fr/research/unit/mccarthy/index.html)
to work with me on the ESRF beamline MASSIF-1
(http://www.esrf.eu/MASSIF1). MASSIF-1 has pioneered fully automated
data collection, including sample location and decision making
algorithms (see https://doi.org/10.1107/S2059798318003728
http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S1399004715011918
http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/S1600577515016604) This year will see two
exciting upgrades to the beamline - first, the ESRF will be coming back
on-line after completely re-building the accelerator
(https://www.esrf.eu/about/upgrade) as the worlds first high energy
fourth generation synchrotron - ESRF-EBS - we will be upgrading the
beamline optics to maximise the capabilities of the new source. Second,
the experimental station of MASSIF-1 will be completely refurbished to
have a new diffractometer and the revolutionary crystal mounting robot,
CrystalDirect (http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/s2059798316000954
http://dx.doi.org/10.1107/s0907444912031459) will also be installed on
the beamline bringing automation all the way from pure protein to
structure models (see http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.5084627)
This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in the commissioning of
an MX beamline at the forefront of automation. This will be a highly
collaborative position working with the EMBL instrumentation, HTX and
synchrotron teams, as well as the ESRF, towards the design, construction
and operation of the upgraded MASSIF-1 beamline with a focus on
expanding its capabilities to support automated fragment screening and
crystallography pipelines. You will also contribute towards the
development of new methods exploiting the unique experimental
opportunities provided by the integration of the CrystalDirect
technology in a beamline environment. You will also participate in
research projects involving fragment screening and development of
chemical tools on targets of biomedical relevance.
Please feel free to contact me, Josan Marquez (marq...@embl.fr) or
Andrew McCarthy (andre...@embl.fr) for informal inquiries - you will
need to apply here

Closing date is the 12th October and interviews will be early November 2020.
Best wishes, Matthew.
