We now have an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) for an appointment of up to three years as part of a newly funded UKRI grant entitled, “UK - Switzerland Partnership for Dynamic Structural Biology”. We seek candidates for this PDRA position with an emphasis on serial crystallography correlated with X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) collected at synchrotrons and/or at XFELs. You will help commission instrumentation to enable on-demand sample delivery methods in serial crystallography with an aim to collect room-temperature, time-resolved datasets at Diamond Light Source and/or at XFELs – including SwissFEL. This will be integrated with a von Hamos geometry, energy dispersive spectrometer for XES data collected from iron, copper, and/or nickel containing systems, and you will also help with commissioning it at Diamond VMXi beamline and/or XFELs including the SwissFEL Cristallina end station.
Please use the online application process to apply and tell us why you believe you are suitable for this role.
