This is a re-post (the previous ad had an incorrect job requisition 
number - my apologies for any confusion this might have caused):

Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory Manager.  The University of 
Oklahoma Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry seeks an individual 
with a doctorate in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Physics (or a related 
relevant field) OR a combination of education and experience (e.g. 
M.S. degree with several years of macromolecular crystallography 
experience).  Experience in both X-ray crystallographic hardware 
maintenance and computer software support is required. 

The Manager of the Macromolecular Crystallography Laboratory (MCL) is 
responsible for: (i) operation and routine maintenance of the 
departmental X-ray instrumentation used by structural biologists 
(which includes a Rigaku/MSC RUH3 rotating anode generator, RAXIS 
IV++ image plate detector system, Osmic confocal optics, and an 
Oxford Cryosystem Series 700) and (ii) training and supervising 
users. 

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage in 
collaborative research in structural biology with users of the X-ray 
facilities and is also expected to actively participate in structural 
biology group meetings and spearhead efforts at writing external 
proposals for instrument upgrades or replacement.  The successful 
candidate should have excellent interpersonal, communication and 
organizational skills.  Experience with all aspects of macromolecular 
structure determination by X-ray crystallography is highly desirable. 

The position is available immediately and will remain open until 
filled.  A competitive salary will be offered, commensurate with 
experience.  Applicants MUST apply for this position on-line at 
https://jobs.ou.edu.  Computers and personal assistance are available
