Postdoctoral Fello

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 environement.

For further information please contact Dr Meitian Wang, phone +41 56 310 41 75, or Dr. Clemens Schulze-Briese, clemens.schulzebriese@dectris.com

Please submit your application online (including list of publications and addresses of referees) for the position as Postdoctoral Fellow (index no. 6112-00).

I saw something online about the EIGER 16M: 201 GB of data per second! Is that number correct?

Jacob, do not worry. Data collection for a typical crystal takes only 0.75 seconds.
