Job Description:
Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Biophysics & Integrated Bioimaging Division has an opening for an Exascale Crystallographic Computation Postdoctoral Fellow. The next decade of structural biology at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will include groundbreaking advances in time domain protein crystallography, diffuse scattering to observe dynamic motion, and single particle diffraction. 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. Notes: -This is a full time 2 years postdoctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operational needs. You must have less than 3 years paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-degree. -Full-time, M-F, exempt (monthly paid) from overtime pay. -Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates. -This position may be subject to a background check. Any convictions will be evaluated to determine if they directly relate to the responsibilities and requirements of the position. Having a conviction history will not automatically disqualify an applicant from being considered for employment. -Work will be primarily performed at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA. Equal Employment Opportunity: Berkeley Lab is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, age, or protected veteran status.

What You Will Do:
- Using our previously developed packages (DIALS and cctbx.xfel) as a starting point, continue to develop and test software for X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) serial crystallography.
- Learn and understand the hardware available for Exascale computing (including Knights Landing compute cores and burst-buffer availability), so code can be refactored for massively parallel execution.
- Work at the interface between supercomputer design teams, computer science groups, LCLS beamline scientists, and X-ray crystallography user groups.
- Develop new algorithms to adapt to heterogeneous experimental designs.
- Deliver new features on time in support of structural biology.
- Publish at least one first-author peer-reviewed publication per year.
- Present at conferences, and continuously communicate results to several collaborating groups.
- PhD in Biophysics, Bioinformatics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering or Physical Sciences.
- Familiarity with macromolecular crystallography, other structural biology techniques, or image processing methods.
- Python and C++ both mandatory.
- Experience with modern object-oriented, version-controlled software development, with a team-oriented approach.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively as part of a cross-disciplinary team.
- Demonstrated ability to analyze complex problems with direct supervision, develop strategies to solve specific problems, while running appropriate controls to validate the correct results.
