X-ray crystallography is a technique that can be used by scientists to map the 3-dimensional physical space of proteins and other biological molecules to an atomic level of detail. Over the last four decades or so, this technique has been used to map over 100,000 protein structures that can be found in the publicly accessible Protein Data Bank, with more being added every day.

Postdoctoral Researcher (Job #11663)

XFEL Biophysics Experimentalist

Department of Physics
Arizona State University

The Department of Physics at Arizona State University (ASU) seeks applicants for a postdoctoral position in the development of new sample-delivery methods for time-resolved X-ray diffraction of biological samples using X-ray free-electron lasers. The successful applicants will become part of an interdisciplinary team at ASU working on solving important biological questions using XFELs, funded by the NSF's  BioXFEL program, which supports this project at six campuses (see https://www.bioxfel.org ).

The post-doc will develop original research projects, mainly based on EUV/soft x-ray FWM, and will be encouraged to collaborate with the EIS staff and external users on the running research activities. 

AIP, ACA, and BioXFEL are proud to present the trailer to a feature documentary soon to be released.  Enjoy!

SciX2015 is a large research conference allowing students, scientists, industry to showcase their cutting edge developments in analytical sciences, instrumentation and unique applications.  This year two BioXFEL students will be presenting in Rhode Island.  

A recent BioXFEL co-authored article published in Nature has reached the number one slot for most read articles.  Below you will find the abstract for "Crystal structure of rhodopsin bound to arrestin by femtosecond X-ray laser".  Full article can be accessed here.

The 2014 BioXFEL Data Analysis Workshop was held August 21st - 22nd with lectures and tutorials from experts and developers in XFEL data analysis techniques. All lectures are now available online with video, interactive online presentations, and downloadable PDF slides.
