On any given day, you will do one or more of these things:
  • Ensure the beamline produces data of the highest quality.
  • Conduct high-resolution, single-crystal protein X-ray diffraction experiments in support of drug discovery research efforts at both IMCA-CAT and a variety of external synchrotron sources.
  • Develop and expand the structural biology services that support pharmaceutical structure-based drug design.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of technologies that expand the experiment envelope.
  • Establish efficient protocols for accelerating data acquisition while enhancing data security.
  • Collaboratively develop automated methods for acquiring quality data from challenging samples.
  • Engage in the technical development of new strategies for ultra-high throughput.
  • Collaborate with the team on strategically aligned research and development projects.
  • Communicate with researchers and present at meetings.
DESIRED SKILLS and EXPERIENCE:
  • PhD in a relevant field with expertise in macromolecular crystallography.
  • Outstanding experimental skills and strong technical skills.
  • Highly collaborative and team-oriented approach to conducting work and solving problems.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills.
  • Deeply proactive approach to meeting and exceeding goals.
  • Ability to meet requirements for site access to Argonne National Laboratory.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
The salary range for this position is $100,000 to $124,800 based on experience and education. AUI offers a full and competitive benefits package.

TO APPLY:
Upload an updated CV/resume and cover letter. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered. We will keep the role open until it is filled, but applications received by December 31, 2025 will be prioritized.
