Together these facilities operate 30 instruments for neutron scattering research, each year carrying out in excess of 1,000 experiments in the physical, chemical, materials, biological and medical sciences. HFIR also provides unique facilities for isotope production and neutron irradiation. To learn more about Neutron Sciences at ORNL go to: http://neutrons.ornl.gov. The Neutron Scattering Division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) invites applications for a post- doctoral molecular biologist or structural biologist to join its Large Scale Structures group. The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary research team investigating the structure and function of biological complexes that are involved in, for example, cellulose synthesis, biomass deconstruction and cell-signaling. These projects involve multi-task efforts in molecular biology, protein crystallography, small–angle scattering and computational modeling. The position represents an excellent opportunity for researchers to develop their careers and interact with leading scientists from around the world. As an ORNL postdoctoral fellow you will have access to leading small angle scattering and neutron diffraction facilities, biofermentation laboratories, and biophysical characterization laboratories, in addition to in-house small angle X-ray scattering and X- ray diffraction instrumentation. The position represents an excellent opportunity for researchers to develop their careers and interact with leading scientists from around the world. Major Duties/Responsibilities * Responsible for protein production, protein labeling, purification, development of novel labeling strategies * Assist in protein crystallography and small-angle scattering studies. * Publish scientific papers on this collaborative research * Present scientific results at appropriate national and international conferences * Ensures compliance with environment, safety, health and quality program requirements * You will be expected to commit to ORNL's Research Code of Conduct by holding yourself and others to the highest scientific, professional, and ethical standards in a manner that fosters mutual respect and enhances the reputation of the individual researcher, his/her colleagues, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in its mission to address the Department of Energy's and the nation's scientific and technical challenges. * Physical requirements for this job include the use of hand and eye protection gear, kneeling, sitting for extended periods of time, and extensive work at chemical laboratories Qualifications Required Basic Qualifications: * Ph.D. degree in biochemistry, biophysics or structural biology * Proven track record in molecular biology techniques including cloning, protein expression and purification, and in biophysical characterization using NMR/EPR or X-ray techniques * Excellent interpersonal, communication and presentational skills Preferred Qualifications: * Prior experience with membrane protein expression and purification * Experience in expression and production of membrane proteins, eukaryotic expression systems, and cell-free protein synthesis would be a distinct advantage * Self-motivated, with a demonstrated ability to interact effectively with staff at all levels within a multi- disciplinary team Applicants must have received their PhD within five years of this application and must complete all degree requirements before starting their appointment. Employment is contingent upon the results of a pre-employment drug screen which must be administered and cleared before employment can begin.
