The University has 40 000 students and more than 8 000 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.
MAX IV is a Swedish national large-scale research laboratory hosted by Lund University. It provides scientists from Sweden as well as internationally, with state-of-the-art instrumentation for research in areas such as engineering, physics, structural biology, chemistry and nanotechnology. Fully developed it will receive more than 2 000 scientists annually, conducting ground-breaking experiments in materials and life sciences using the brilliant X-ray light.
BioMAX is the first operational beamline for macromolecular crystallography at MAX IV, which has been running within the MAX IV user program for the last 3 years.
The beamline is a state-of-the-art beamline geared towards high-throughput protein crystallography with high performance x-ray optics and control systems, goniometry, x-ray detectors and a cryogenic sample changer (See also:
http://www.maxiv.se/biomax). The beamline is able to provide remote access to the users.
The beamline is operated by the international and interdisciplinary BioMAX-team, which is part of the MX group. Within the MX group we are also developing constructing MicroMAX, a serial crystallography beamline for studying protein dynamics and the FragMAX project, which operates a crystallographic fragment screening facility at MAX IV.
We are looking for a beamline scientist who enjoys working in an international and creative environment to join our team working at the BioMAX Beamline. As a beamline scientist, you will be involved in continuing development of the BioMAX beamline and the scope of techniques that can be offered to our user community. User support will be an important part of the activity. The MX environment will provide opportunities for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field.
