Your team
The Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) group at MAX IV operates two beamlines: BioMAX and MicroMAX.
BioMAX that started user operation in 2017 is a highly versatile state-of-the-art beamline, geared towards high-throughput protein crystallography and automated experiments. BioMAX can handle most conventional MX experiments, room temperature data collection and Synchrotron Serial Crystallography (SSX). See also:

The MX group also operates FragMAX, a platform for crystallographic fragment screening. The international and interdisciplinary MX group consists of around 15 persons.
Would you like to work at one of the brightest lightsources in the world?
MAX IV are looking for a Beamline Scientist who enjoys working in an international and creative environment to join the MX team. You will contribute to and drive inhouse projects for the development of beamline instrumentation, software tools and methods for multi-crystal data collection and high-throughput fully automated data collection, including data analysis and structure determination. User support will be an important part of the work activity. The MX environment will provide opportunities for collaborative work at the frontiers of the field. You will work in a group of friendly, curious and skillful staff with different backgrounds. The first round of interviews is scheduled in mid-September and the second round in mid-October.
Your main work tasks will be
- Participation in in-house method development research and internal and collaborative science projects in the field of macromolecular crystallography
- Shared responsibilities for operation of BioMAX and MicroMAX in close collaboration with the team of scientists and engineers of the MX group and MAX IV staff
- Support (technical and scientific) of external users during their experimental beam time
- Dissemination and education activities directed to MAX IV users and the wide MX community.
To be successful in this role you need to have the following qualifications
- PhD or equivalent in Structural Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or another field relevant to the beamline
- Documented research activities using chemical or macromolecular crystallography, or in crystallography methods development.
