[3dem] PDRA position in Electron and X-ray crystallography of protein nanocrystals

[Siebert, Alistair (DLSLtd,RAL,LSCI)]

Dear all,

We have an exciting opportunity within the MX group for a highly motivated PDRA to carry out their own innovative research in the development of new methods and their application to structure determination by electron and X-ray diffraction of protein nanocrystals. The post will work within the HeXI/VMXm teams to understand the complementarity between electron and X-ray diffraction data. The role will include sample preparation, data collection and analysis on the VMXm beamline and the Diamond suite of electron microscopes where novel applications of serial and precession diffraction will be investigated. As the first-of-a-kind HeXI instrument is constructed, the post will also assist with commissioning the beamline and performing proof-of-concept electron diffraction experiments.

The successful applicant will benefit from Diamond's outstanding expertise and experience with data collection and data processing within the MX group along with the extensive specific expertise in the collection and processing of electron diffraction data within the eBIC and DIALS groups. A broad range of world-class instrumentation will be available to the PDRA including the MX beamlines and the electron microscopes at eBIC.

There will also be the opportunity to play an active role in interacting and collaborating with the extensive MX, chemical crystallography, and rapidly expanding EM communities based at Harwell such as ePSIC, The Research Complex, and The Rosalind Franklin Institute.

Please feel free to contact me with informal enquiries and see here for further details:
