  • 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.
