瑞士保羅謝勒研究所蛋白質晶體學博士后職位

The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of matter and materials, energy and environment and human health. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2100 people.

One of the focused areas of research in the Division of Biology and Chemistry and Photon Science Division is the instrumentation for protein crystallography using Swiss Light Source (SLS) synchrotron, in particular its upcoming upgrade, SLS-2. As an approach with prospective orders of magnitude improvement of throughput from the state-of-the-art, we have been developing the acoustic levitation diffractometer utilizing the ultrasound acoustic radiation pressure. Our recent demonstrations include the 3 kHz data collection and the successful experiment for membrane protein crystals. See also here https: // www. psi.ch/en/mgg/ald for published results. We now aim at extending the technology for the fully-automated serial crystallography pipeline of micro protein crystal samples from crystallization to data processing. For this highly interdisciplinary project, we are looking for a
