The Biotechnology Group at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory
(SSRL, a division of SLAC) has an opening for a Scientific and
Engineering Associate I to assist with the running of the x-ray
crystallography facilities. Will assist Ph.D. Scientists with the
operation and maintenance of these facilities which include computer-
controlled instrumentation, x-ray optics and detectors, cryogenic
systems, and data processing software. Will provide user training to
visiting scientists. Will diagnose problems, trouble-shoot and repair
experimental equipment. Will participate in the design of new
instrumentation in close coordination with the scientific staff. Will
also coordinate and oversee the procurement, fabrication, assembly,
installation and testing of instrumentation. Initially, will
participate in the development and commissioning of two new experimental
stations.
