Dear All,

I would like to draw your attention to the following MX Beamline Scientist positions currently open at Diamond to work on Beamlines I24 (Microfocus) and I02.

All the best

Gwyndaf

===================================================================================================

Location: Diamond Light Source - (UK)
Job reference/Title: DIA0396/SB Beamline Scientist Microfocus Crystallography Beamline I24
Post details: Full time / Permanent
Salary information: Circa £34K (depending upon previous experience and qualifications)
Application deadline: June 6, 2008

Description
Diamond Light Source is a new synchrotron and a leading scientific facility of its type in the world. Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in South Oxfordshire, we will host research facilities supporting cutting edge research in all fields of science.

The microfocus beamline is designed to deliver a 6.5 – 25keV X-ray beam of variable size (<5μm - 100 μm) on to crystal samples of membrane proteins or large multi-protein complexes. The beamline consists of a double crystal monochromator, two pairs of Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors and a state-of-the-art sample environment including an experiment robot. The beamline scientist will be expected to assist in commissioning, developing and operating the beamline.

Duties
Working in collaboration with the Principal Beamline Scientist in the commissioning, operation, and development of the Microfocus Crystallography Beamline I24, working closely with other scientists within the MX group and the relevant support groups within Diamond.

* To assist in the commissioning and optimisation of the MX Beamline I24 alongside the Principal Beamline Scientist and support staff.
* To assist in the operation of the I24 beamline and other beamlines for users including carrying out a user support role via the local contact system.
* Assist in the upgrading of the beamline as required.
* Carry out own research in an area relevant to the Microfocus Crystallography Beamline.

Description
Diamond Light Source is a new synchrotron and a leading scientific facility of its type in the world. Located on the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus in South Oxfordshire, we will host research facilities supporting cutting edge research in all fields of science.

This position will be based on a state-of-the art macromolecular crystallography beamline currently being commissioned. The beamlines use in-vacuum undulators to generate X-rays in the range of 5-25 keV. Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors focus the X-ray beam to 100µm x 100µm. The beamlines are equipped with tiled array CCD detectors and robotic sample changers to allow the rapid collection of high quality macromolecular crystallography data.

Duties
Working in collaboration with the Principal Beamline Scientist in the commissioning, operation, and upgrading of the MX Beamline I02, working closely with other MX scientists within the MX group and the relevant support groups within Diamond.

* To assist in the commissioning and optimisation of the MX beamline I02 alongside other beamline scientists.
* To assist in the operation of the beamlines for users including carrying out a user support role via the local contact system.
* Assist in the upgrading of the beamline as required.
* Liaise with the suppliers of the beamline components.
* Carry out own research in an area relevant to the MX beamlines on Diamond.
