Description:
The Macromolecular Diffraction Facility of the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (MacCHESS) has an opening for a post-doctoral associate. Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a field relevant to structural biology. Preference will be given to those with experience in x-ray solution scattering on biological systems (SAXS and WAXS). The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with visiting research groups collecting data at MacCHESS. Activities will include applying state-of-the art algorithms to BioSAXS data, modeling macromolecular complexes, or studying conformationally- variable regions of proteins. Experience in developing hardware and software for automation including microfluidics is also desirable.

Located on an ivy-league university campus in picturesque upstate New York, the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) serves a world-wide user base of structural biologists, chemists, physicists, and engineers. MacCHESS is an NIH-supported National Resource providing support for structural biology at CHESS. MacCHESS is a heavily team-oriented environment. Good clear communication skills are a must, including fluency in the English language.

Cornell is an equal opportunity employer.

Contact: Dr. Sara Casalbuoni (Sara.Casalbuoni@iss.fzk.de; Tel: 0049 7247 828369)

Description:
At the institute of synchrotron radiation there is an ongoing R&D program for superconducting IDs in order to produce high brilliance for the ID beamlines at synchrotron light source ANKA, and to export this technology to low emittance storage rings of medium energies (2-3 GeV) in order to produce high brilliance X-rays in the range between 20-50keV. The PhD work is focused on the magnetic design for the next generation of insertion devices at ANKA to optimize the required magnetic field properties, which influence the spectral properties, polarization and the transparency of the device to the electron beam. Foreseen for ANKA are: a superconducting undulator with switchable period length, and an elliptically polarizing superconducting device. Aim of this PhD is to validate the magnetic design with simulations done using different software packages (Opera 3D, Radia, ANSYS). The design will be tested on mock-up coils to be measured in the liquid helium facility CASPERI. An analysis of the data with comparison with the simulations will complete the PhD work.

University studies in physics, physical, electrical or mechanical engineering. Experience with finite element programs as Opera3d, ANSYS, FEMLAB, and magnetostatic calculations with RADIA is desirable.

Scientist - Macromolecular Crystallography

Location: Australian Synchrotron
Job reference/Title: Scientist - Macromolecular Crystallography
Post details: Permanent, full time
Salary: $70 - $85K
Application: Applications should be emailed to hr@synchrotron.org,au
Link to full posting: http://www.synchrotron.org.au/index.php/about-us/working-at-the-synchrotron/employment-opportunities/369-macromolecular-crystallography-scientist
Contact: Tom Caradoc-Davies (Principal Scientist, Protein Crystallography +61 (0)3 8540 4187)

Description:
The Australian Synchrotron, a major national facility, provides researchers from Australia and overseas with a powerful tool for scientific and industrial research. We are seeking a scientist to take a leading role in the operation, maintenance and development of the Macromolecular Crystallography Facility. The Facility comprising two beamlines, one on an undulator and on one a bending magnet source. The facility allows users to map atom by atom, highly complex biomolecules and generate world-class data. A recent highlight is the commissioning of a high-capacity robot, which can load and upload sensitive protein crystal samples in a fraction of the time required by human hands.

You will work closely with other facility employees to ensure that the beamline meets its scientific objectives, and will be expected to pursue your own scientific research.

    To be successful you will have:
  • Thorough knowledge of relevant techniques, equipment and control systems
  • Expertise in data processing and analysis software
  • Effective communication skills
  • Proven ability to liaise with people at all levels
  • Initiative, leadership and ability to work unsupervised and as part of a team
  • Strong organisational and time management skills
