MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK
The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) seeks to appoint an Investigator Scientist to develop computational methods and software for modelling, refinement and validation of atomic structure models using multiple data sources including crystallographic and single particle cryoEM data. One of the applications of the developed methods will be for building and validation of time dependent atomic structure models for time-resolved crystallography.
Building, refinement, and validation of consensus as well as models of differences will require good knowledge of structural biology as well as computational methods. In addition, you should hold a PhD in a related field and have experience in large collaborative software development. Working knowledge of python, C++, and/or Fortran is essential.
This position is available for a maximum of 3 years, with the position ending on 31 October 2027 at the latest.
The LMB has an inclusive and collaborative working culture, and you will be based in our state-of-the-art building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. We have on-site parking, cycle enclosures and excellent public transport links to the site. You will be able to access our range of excellent benefits including a staff restaurant with roof terrace, on-site nursery, sports and social facilities. You will be eligible to join our defined benefit pension scheme with an employer contribution of 16%, holiday entitlement of 40.5 days per annum (including bank holidays and privilege days) and a generous employee discount scheme. We are also committed to providing training and development opportunities including support towards role-related qualifications.
