Biomedical Scientist, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,
CA [March 8, 1995]
The macromolecular crystallography group of the Biology and Biotechnology
Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has an immediate opening
for a Biomedical Scientist at the BS or MS level in the field of
macromolecular crystallography, with emphasis on crystallization and molecular
biology.
Rank and Salary are open.
This is a 2 year term position, extension possible.
Initial replys to and more info from : rupp1@llnl.gov
Livermore is located in a valley 40 mi south east of San Francisco and
operated by the University of California for the United States Department of
Energy. We operate a new X-ray user facility specializing in high resolution
cryo-crystallography of macromolecules. External collaborations are welcome.
NATURE AND SCOPE OF POSITION:
The individual will participate in the crystallization of biological
macromolecules and the operation of a macromolecular X-ray crystallography
laboratory. She / he will work closely together with protein chemists and
staff crystallographers. Experience in the biochemistry of proteins and
crystallogenesis of biological macromolecules is essential. Familiarity with
modern crystallographic techniques and computing (including programming) are
of advantage.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES:
-modify crystallization experiments and produce data that meet specific
experimental goals defined by lead principal investigator
-maintain complete records of plans, procedures and results
-participate in analysis and setup of crystallization experiments with a
modest level of supervision
-prepare results for analysis by others
-perform basic duties of laboratory maintenance such as ordering supplies and
chemicals, stocking of materials with a minimum of supervision
MARGINAL DUTIES:
-assist in data collection and analysis of diffraction data
ESSENTIAL SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND ABILITIES:
-BS or MS in biochemistry, chemistry, biology or relevant field of science
-previous experience in experimental protein chemistry and/or
crystallogenesis of biological macromolecules
-proven ability to work and communicate in collaborative environment
DESIRED SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND ABILITIES:
-basic computer skills in Microsoft Windows / SGI Irix environment
SECURITY : Ability to obtain *P* clearance
