Post-doctoral Associate - Biological Small-Angle Solution Scattering
Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source

The Macromolecular Diffraction Facility of the Cornell High-Energy
Synchrotron Source (MacCHESS) has an opening for a post-doctoral  
associate.
Applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in a field relevant to
structural biology. Preference will be given to those with
experience in x-ray solution scattering on biological systems (SAXS and
WAXS). The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate with
visiting research groups collecting data at MacCHESS. Activities will
include applying state-of-the art algorithms to BioSAXS data,
modeling macromolecular complexes, or studying conformationally variable
regions of proteins. Experience in developing hardware and
software for automation including microfluidics is also desirable.
Located on an ivy-league university campus in picturesque upstate New
York, the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) serves a
world-wide user base of structural biologists, chemists, physicists, and
engineers. MacCHESS is an NIH-supported National Resource providing
support for structural biology at CHESS. MacCHESS is a heavily team  
oriented
environment. Good clear communication skills are a must, including
fluency in the English language.

This position is a 1-year appointment, renewable for up to 3 years  
total,
contingent upon availability of funds and employee performance.
Please provide an application and arrange to have at least three  
letters of reference sent
