The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France.
The ESRF Structural Biology (SB) Group currently operates 8 end-stations for Structural Biology providing a wide range of state-of-the-art facilities for experiments in macromolecular crystallography (MX), BioSAXS and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Additional ancillary techniques such as in crystallo spectroscopy and experiments based on high pressure cryo-cooling are also provided for, as is a laboratory for protein expression and purification. A major activity for the group is the development of new experimental methodology and of integrated software for the automation of our beamlines.
The ESRF Structural Biology invites applications for post-doctoral researchers (3-year, fixed term positions) in the following areas:
Development of millisecond spectroscopy for time-resolved experiments.
Data analysis for synchrotron serial crystallography (SSX) experiments
Automation of image analysis pipelines for cryo-electron microscopy.
Development of new methodologies for fast sample delivery in SSX experiments
Cryo-electron microscopy, particularly the single particle reconstruction of macromolecular complexes.
Development of microfluidic devices for the use in bioSAXS experiments
