Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s (LBNL <https://www.lbl.gov/>) Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division has an opening for an XFEL Crystallography Specialist to join the team, either at the *Postdoctoral *or *Project Scientist* level.
In this exciting role you will focus on X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) crystallography and software development. The next decade of structural biology at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will include groundbreaking advances in time domain work, diffuse scattering to observe dynamic motion, and single particle diffraction. Considering the petabyte scale of these data, we are undertaking ambitious collaborations with structural biologists, light source facilities, and supercomputer centers like Berkeley's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC). Projects will include 1) Photosystem II, discovering the sequence of redox events leading to the release of molecular oxygen, using a combination of time-resolved crystallography and X-ray emission spectroscopy; 2) Examining the electronic environment of metalloenzyme catalytic metals; 3) New methods for small-molecule structure determination. What You Will Do: - Participate as the crystallography specialist on multidisciplinary teams. - Contribute to software development using our packages cctbx.xfel and dials as a starting point. - Develop a deep understanding of Exascale computing & GPU accelerators. - Interface with supercomputer design teams, computer science groups, LCLS beamline scientists, and X-ray crystallography user groups. - Derive algorithms to adapt to heterogeneous experimental designs. - Deliver new features on time and in support of structural biology. - Support scheduled beam time data collection at remote global facilities, in-person or online. What is Required: - A working knowledge of crystallographic data collection, processing, molecular modeling, and model validation. - A publication record reflective of this experience. - Expertise with modern object-oriented, version-controlled software development, with a team-oriented approach. - Proficiency with Linux, Python, and C++. Desired Qualifications: - Experience with GPU computing. - Experience in a high-performance computing environment. - Machine learning, for example TensorFlow or PyTorch experience. *Positions are available at both the Postdoctoral and Project Scientist levels:* https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=94193 https://lbl.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=94192 Based on University of California Policy - SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Vaccination Program and U.S Federal Government requirements, Berkeley Lab requires that all members of our community obtain the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they are eligible.
