MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light.
BioMAX is the first operational beamline for macromolecular crystallography at MAX IV, which runs for the last 3 years within the MAX IV user program. The beamline comprises a state-of-the-art instrumentation with high performance x-ray transport and control systems, goniometry, x-ray detectors and a cryogenic sample changer. The beamline is operated by the interdisciplinary BioMAX-team which is part of the MX-group. Within this group we are also jointly developing a new beamlines project: MicroMAX, a serial crystallography beamline for studying protein dynamics. The MX-group is now looking for an expert, with a strong interest in developing, operating and maintaining complex scientific instrumentation of the BioMAX beamline. The position offers ample possibilities to work with and to develop scientific instrumentation and methodologies, which can be used later together with the BioMAX users for basic and applied research tasks. Due to the broad spectrum of activities, this position is ideal to develop a related portfolio of expertise and knowledge by the candidate.
