Dear All,
The Structural Molecular Biology (SMB) Division at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL), Stanford University, a national user research facility and a Directorate of the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, has an immediate opening for a highly motivated Ph.D. scientist with a strong experimental background in physicochemical studies of biological macromolecules using synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques. We are seeking a highly self-driven individual who will be expected to play a key role in methodology and instrumentation developments, daily operation of a small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) beamline as well as collaborative research under supervision of a senior scientist. The successful candidate will join the BioSAXS team which supports and further develops the SAXS instrument at the beamline 4-2 at SSRL to provide access to state-of-the-art experimental facilities for biological small-angle x-ray scattering to a large national and international scientific user community.

Duties include:
- Play a key role in new methodological and technological developments in structural biology and biophysics using small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering techniques- Engage in collaborative research projects that take advantage of the instrumentation available at BL4-2- Participate in the daily operation and maintenance of an insertion-device small-angle x-ray scattering facility dedicated to structural studies on mostly non-crystalline biological systems- Engage in user support and training at the beamline and actively participate in scientific workshops and outreach programs organized by the BioSAXS team at SSRL

QUALIFICATIONS:REQUIRED:
- Ph.D. in biophysics, physical biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, structural biology or a closely related field and 5 years of relevant post Ph.D. experience.- Demonstrated experimental skills in protein or nucleic acid physical chemistry and x-ray scattering/diffraction techniques.- Considerable experience in instrument development- Ability to work in a team environment- Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively with a diverse group of scientists, technical staff as well as external users

DESIRED:
- Postdoctoral research or comparable training in a related field- Familiarity with standard analysis software packages and methods for biological small-angle scattering data analysis- Prior experience with Python programming for data analysis and instrument control
