Dear All,
One more week to apply for this exciting position! - closing
date 15/12/19
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 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)
Next 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 fourth generation high energy 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 sample 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 to 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 (marquez@embl.fr)
or Andrew McCarthy (andrewmc@embl.fr) for
informal inquiries - you will need to apply here https://www.embl.fr/jobs/searchjobs/index.php?ref=GR00140&newlang=1&loc[]=4
Closing date is the 15th December and interviews will be 27th
January 2020.
Best wishes, Matthew.
