Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division has an opening for a Bioinformatics Project Scientist. The project scientist will work on the development of computational and experimental methodologies for Fluctuation X-ray Scattering (FXS). Research is concentrated on the development of software for the processing of FEL and synchrotron based FXS data and the subsequent analyses of such data. The candidate is expected to expand the developed techniques into related research areas, such as time resolved SAXS and/or powder diffraction. The candidate will be involved in the development and expansion of the underlying theory of FXS, either as a standalone technique or in a hybrid capacity, will aid in its practical deployment in the biological sciences, and collaborate with external researchers in the analyses of experimental results. The position reports to the PI. What You Will Do:
Additional Info:
Berkeley Lab (LBNL) addresses the world’s most urgent scientific challenges by advancing sustainable energy, protecting human health, creating new materials, and revealing the origin and fate of the universe. Founded in 1931, Berkeley Lab’s scientific expertise has been recognized with 13 Nobel prizes. The University of California manages Berkeley Lab for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science The posting shall remain open until the position is filled, however for full consideration, please apply by close of business on June 29, 2017. Notes: This is a full time, 2 year, term appointment with the possibility of extension depending upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs.
Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay.
Salary is commensurate with experience.
This position is contingent on the successful completion of a background check.
Work will be primarily performed at: Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA.
