*EMBL Grenoble Staff Scientist : New SAXS Beamline on ID14-EH3 at the ESRF
Job description:* A scientist is required to join a team within the 
Partnership for Structural Biology (EMBL, ESRF, ILL and IBS, 
http://psb.esrf.fr/) which is establishing a unique and integrated 
SAXS-SANS platform, making use of the intense synchrotron X-ray and 
neutron beams of respectively the ERSF and ILL. The successful candidate 
will be responsible for construction, commissioning and user support of 
a new state-of-the-art SAXS beamline, dedicated to biology, to be built 
on undulator beamline ID14-EH3 at the ESRF. The beamline will cater to 
the growing needs of the European structural biology community who wish 
to combine SAXS studies with crystallography and other techniques. 
He/She will benefit from strong technical support from the ESRF MX and 
Soft Condensed Matter groups and other ESRF services as well as the EMBL 
Grenoble diffraction instrumentation group. In addition there will be a 
strong collaboration with the SAXS scientists from the EMBL Hamburg 
Outstation both to transfer expertise and to provide test facilities 
during the conception and construction phase of the future SAXS beamline 
at Petra III in Hamburg. *
Qualifications and experience:* Applicants for this position are 
expected to hold a PhD in a related specialization, as well as have 
postdoctoral experience in instrumentation and software for small-angle 
scattering in physics, chemistry or biology, preferably at a 
synchrotron. At least some knowledge of, and demonstrable interest in, 
biology is required.

Commencing date: As soon as possible following the closing date
*Contract:* An initial contract of 3 years will be offered to the 
successful candidate.
This can be renewed, depending on circumstances at the time of review.
*Closing date*: 8 July 2007
