POSTING DESCRIPTION

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
