Job Description

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is one of the highest ranked scientific research organisations in the world. The Headquarters Laboratory is located in Heidelberg (Germany), with additional sites in Grenoble (France), Hamburg (Germany), Hinxton (UK) and Monterotondo (Italy).   EMBL Grenoble Outstation enables access to state-of-the-art structural biology technologies, including the ESRF synchrotron X-ray beamlines for MX and SAXS, neutron scattering at the ILL, cryo-EM and high-field NMR at the IBS as well as protein expression screening, insect cell facilities, biophysical platform, confocal microscopy and high-throughput crystallization platforms. We have local access to excellent cryo-EM instrumentation including Tecnai F30 Polara microscope equipped with K2 camera and soon a cryo-EM facility with FEI Titan Krios will be established at the ESRF. In addition to local instrumentation we have access to all core facilities in other EMBL Institutes.
