Offer Description
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
The European Synchrotron, the ESRF, is an international research centre based in Grenoble, France.
Through its innovative engineering, pioneering scientific vision and a strong commitment from its 700 staff members, the ESRF is recognised as one of the top research facilities worldwide. Its particle accelerator produces intense X-ray beams that are used by thousands of scientists each year for experiments in diverse fields such as biology, medicine, environmental sciences, cultural heritage, materials science, and physics.
Supported by 21 countries, the ESRF is an equal opportunity employer and encourages diversity.
CONTEXT & JOB DESCRIPTION
Subject: Probing protein dynamics by single-crystal room temperature, or high-pressure cryogenic, crystallography and in crystallo optical spectroscopy
You will join the Structural Biology Group to pursue a project aimed to propose a new paradigm in macromolecular crystallography (MX) by focusing on room temperature data collection and embracing complementary biophysical approaches. Single-crystal room temperature MX has the potential to probe proteins dynamics, benefitting from the use of complementary techniques (e.g., optical spectroscopy, high-pressure) directly used on crystalline samples. This integrated project, combining MX, in crystallo optical spectroscopy (icOS) and high-pressure MX (HPMX), will study several fluorescent proteins in order to provide a comprehensive picture of their dynamics to help tune their properties.
Further information may be obtained from Christoph Mueller-Dieckmann (tel.: +33 (0)4 76 88 28 70, email: [email protected] ) or Antoine Royant (tel.: +33 (0)4 76 88 28 70, email: [email protected] ).
