PostDoc position in Eindhoven (NL) on Serial ED for protein crystals on a unique ultracold electron source

Eindhoven University of Technology, De Groene Loper 19, 5612AP Eindhoven, Netherlands

Prof Julius Huijts ERC funded project "Cool T-ReX" they are looking to hire a postdoc with experience in Serial ED or microED, preferably on protein crystals. The aim of the project is to develop a unique instrument based on an ultracold electron source, to enable time-resolved protein crystallography with electrons.

This demonstration will be based on the principle of Serial ED, with protein crystals provided by collaborators and using Graphene Liquid Cells assembled using a commercial solution. While their research group is world-leading on the development of the ultra-cold electron source technology, your role in this project is to take the lead on the implementation of Serial ED on their new setup.
