[Neutron] Australian postdoctoral position in protein X-ray and neutron scattering [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[GILBERT, Elliot Paul]

> ANSTO-CSIRO Joint Post Doctoral Fellowship 
> Protein Scattering/Crystallography 
> Attractive Salary Package 
> 2 Year Term
> 
> ANSTO and the CSIRO Food Futures Flagship are seeking a recent PhD graduate with a strong focus on innovation, good communication skills and a proven publication record to join a unique research collaboration. We are looking for a researcher who can work well within cross-disciplinary teams and can collaborate strongly with industrial partners.
> 
> The fellow will work in a major initiative applying a multidisciplinary approach to understand the factors that influence the material properties of proteins. Particular focus will be on correlating the molecular properties of proteins with their behaviour in solution, during drying and re-hydration, initially pure and subsequently as mixed systems. The project will make extensive use of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and quasi-elastic neutron scattering to obtain both structural and dynamic information and relate these data to a range of factors including moisture content, temperature, pH, ionic strength and co-solutes.
> 
> The fellow will interact closely with collaborators in Food Science Australia and The University of Queensland and with industry through a protein research consortium.
> 
> Experience in the application of X-ray or neutron scattering methods to investigate bio-systems, particularly proteins, is essential.
> 
> To be eligible for appointment, applicants will require a security and medical assessment.
> 
> For further technical information relating to this position please contact Dr Elliot Gilbert or Dr. Ingrid Appelqvist by e-mail: elliot.gilbert at ansto.gov.au or Ingrid.appelgvist at csiro.au
