The Paul Scherrer Institute, PSI, is with 1500 employees the largest
research centre for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland.
We perform world-class research in three main subject areas: Matter and
Material; Energy and the Environment; and Human Health. By conducting
fundamental and applied research, we work on long-term solutions for
major challenges facing society, industry and science.
The Swiss Light Source (SLS) is one of the most advanced radiation sources worldwide. The SLS Macromolecular Crystallography Group operates two high performance undulator beam lines as well as a state-of-the-art bending magnet beamline for protein crystallography. The group is involved in several aspects of protein crystallography including the development of advanced beamline instrumentation and crystallographic methods, as well as structural biology projects in collaboration with the Biomolecular Research Group at PSI and external partners.

Postdoctoral Fellow
Next Generation Detector for Protein Crystallography
Your tasks
Built on the success of PILATUS detector technology, PSI and Dectris
Ltd. are developing the next generation single-photon counting detector
(EIGER) featuring smaller pixel size, higher frame rate and dynamic
range. The proposed project is to exploit PILATUS and EIGER detectors in
protein crystallography applications:
- Systematic data acquisition and processing optimization using PILATUS 2M/6M detectors
- Development of fast data acquisition and processing methods with EIGER 1M detector in protein micro-crystallography
- Commissioning of the EIGER 16M detector at a protein crystallography beamline
Your profile
You hold a PhD degree in (bio-) chemistry or physics and have
several years of experience in protein crystallography. Working
knowledge for data processing programs and various phasing and
refinement software is a must. Experience in computer programming would
be a significant advantage. If you are a good team player with fine
communication skills and sense of responsibility, this position will
offer a great opportunity for you to develop your research career in an
exciting and highly multidisciplinary environment.
