  • 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.
  • Support auto-mode experiments, including weekly on-call and monthly weekend assignments.
  • Manage incoming and outgoing samples and shipments.
  • Contribute to the development and implementation of technologies that expand the experiment envelope.
  • Contribute to the development of 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.
  • Provide general support for experiments and facility development.

DESIRED SKILLS and EXPERIENCE:
  • BS/BA in a technical or engineering-related field.
  • Outstanding technical skills.
  • Experience with high vacuum systems, electrical systems, motors, controllers, and cryogenic systems.
  • Highly collaborative and team-oriented approach to conducting work, troubleshooting, and solving problems.
  • Experience implementing R&D projects, including demonstrated ability to have effective interaction and good working relationships with scientists, technical support staff, and vendors.
  • Effective written and oral communication skills, including drafting documents and making brief presentations.
  • Exceptional originality and attention to quality, detail, and accuracy.
  • Deeply proactive approach to meeting and exceeding goals.
  • Ability to routinely lift racks of samples (5 lbs), baskets of samples in liquid nitrogen (15 lbs), and shipping dewars (up to 35 lbs).
  • Ability to meet requirements for site access to Argonne National Laboratory.
