Project Leader for the ID30A-1/MASSIF-1 MX beamline upgrade
EMBL Grenoble, Grenoble, France
Application deadline: 22 Dec 2019
A job opening for a highly motivated scientist in the Synchrotron Crystallography team at the EMBL Grenoble is available.
Closing date: 22 December 2019
The role
The successful candidate is expected to lead the EMBL-Grenoble’s contribution to the post Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) upgrade and subsequent operation of the automated, state-of-the-art crystallography ESRF ID30A-1/MASSIF-1 beamline. In a first phase, the planned upgrade of MASSIF-1 includes an improved X-ray optics setup and the installation of a high performance MD2S diffracometer coupled to a FlexHCD sample changer. A second phase will see the integration of CrystalDirect harvesting device. The position available represents an excellent opportunity for the successful candidate to contribute to a substantial upgrade of MASSIF-1 and to the further development of mail-in macromolecuar-crystallography possibilities for the European structural biology community. He/She is expected to actively participate in local and international initiatives aimed at the further development of automated data collection protocols required to maximise the post ESRF-EBS scientific potential of MASSIF-1. The successful candidate will also be expected to carry out their own structural biology research project based on use of synchrotron radiation.
