How much do x ray crystallography jobs pay per week?

As of Aug 15, 2026, the average weekly pay for x ray crystallography in the United States is $2,094.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $1,740.38 and $2,500.00 per week, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is x ray crystallography?

An X-ray Crystallography job involves analyzing the atomic and molecular structure of crystals using X-ray diffraction techniques. Professionals in this field prepare crystal samples, operate X-ray diffraction equipment, and interpret diffraction patterns to determine the arrangement of atoms in a material. These roles are common in research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and material science industries, contributing to drug development, structural biology, and material characterization.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in x ray crystallography?

To thrive in X-ray Crystallography, you need a strong background in structural biology, chemistry, or physics, with experience in crystallization techniques and data analysis. Familiarity with X-ray diffraction instruments, crystallography software such as CCP4 or Phenix, and potentially a relevant certification or advanced degree is important. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are valuable soft skills for collaborating with research teams. These qualities ensure accurate experimental results, successful structure determination, and the ability to work efficiently in multidisciplinary scientific environments.

What are some typical challenges faced in x ray crystallography roles?

In X-ray Crystallography roles, one common challenge is successfully growing high-quality crystals suitable for diffraction, which can require persistence and creative problem-solving. Interpreting complex data and troubleshooting issues with instrumentation or software are also frequent aspects of the work. Collaboration with chemists, biologists, and computational scientists is often necessary to optimize experiments and analyze results. This dynamic environment helps build versatile skills but also requires adaptability and strong teamwork for effective progress.

Job description

Job Description
Field of research:
Single particle cryo-electron microscopy and X-ray crystallization of viral glycoproteins, immunogen design, virology, biochemistry and biophysics.
Purpose of the Research Project(s):
The goal of our research is to develop vaccines and therapeutics targeting human pathogens.
Duties and Responsibilities:
20% Structure-based and machine-learning immunogen design for protein subunit and mRNA vaccines based on viral surface glycoproteins (construct design, recombinant expression in mammalian cells, purification, and stability assays),
20% Characterize protein antigenicity (binding assays using ELISAs, SPR and biolayer interferometry to evaluate binding kinetics and affinity of antibodies or designed proteins),
15% Perform structural studies (high-throughput cryo-electron microscopy of subunit vaccines as well as of complexes between viral glycoproteins and monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies as well as X-ray crystallography),
10% Design and execution of virology assays,
10% Analysis of the data to help determining the research strategy,
10% Lead projects and/or major project tasks,
10% Interactions with collaborators within our network and writing of manuscripts for publication
5% Provide guidance and direction to project staff, students and postdocs
Requirements:
Master's Degree in Biochemistry or related field and four years 4 years of experience in related field like: Cryo-electron microscopy, virology assays (pseudotyped virus generation, cellular entry and neutralization assays), protein expression in mammalian cells and purification
Equivalent education and/or experience may substitute for minimum qualifications except when there are legal requirements, such as a license, certification, and/or registration.
Desire:
Expertise in protein and vaccine design, experience in high throughput automation using Beckman Biomek.
