Article - A Shared Vision For Macromolecular Crystallography Over The Next 5 Years
|
|
A recent article in
Structural Dynamics
considers where Macromolecular Crystallography (MX) is headed in the next five years and the influences of other complementary techniques, such as Cryo-EM. The authors "show how data collection has changed over the preceding five years and how alternative methods have emerged." They then "explore how MX at synchrotrons might develop over the next five years."

This program is oriented toward early career scientists such as an Assistant Professor or in an equivalent role. Its goal is to "help early career scientists become more competitive as grant applicants through first-hand experience with peer review and to enrich and diversify CSR’s pool of trained reviewers."

The NCCAT has "announced the opening of general user proposal (GUP) and training proposal (TP) access categories for limited early access to instrument time." GUP1 & 2 supports use of the NCCAT equipment while TP1 and TP2 provide training. Deadlines are quarterly with the next deadline being April 1, 2020.

Laboratory of Protein Structure International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IIMCB), Warsaw, headed by Prof. Marcin Nowotny is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher. This project will provide detailed information how interesting and important tRNA ligase proteins work, which is currently not fully understood. As a Postdoctoral Researcher: you will be responsible for expression and purification of proteins and their complexes. You will carry out biochemical characterization of enzymatic activity. You will be involved in preparation of the samples for cryo-EM data collection, EM data collection, structure solution, refinement and analysis.

"Each summer DESY offers undergraduate students in physics, related natural science disciplines or computing the possibility to participate in the research activities of the laboratory. Selected candidates join in the day-to-day work of research groups at the DESY Laboratory in Hamburg or Zeuthen (Berlin) and participate in one of these activities. While the work in the groups is the main activity, there will also be a series of lectures (given in English) related to the research done at DESY. Visits to the accelerators and experiments are also included in this programme."

"The programme gives students the chance to come and work at one of the UK’s leading science facilities for a week. Initially students will receive a day's introduction to Diamond, covering all areas of Diamond and a look around the facility to see first hand how it operates. The main element of the week will be a three day project in a specific area, which students will complete and then present to their peers and other visitors on the final day (friends and family welcome). There will also be a chance to get involved in group activities and time to meet their peers and Diamond staff."
