We are looking to expand the team developing our program Phaser, for use within both the CCP4 and Phenix packages. Our goals include expanding the functionality to new phasing experiments (in addition to the options for molecular replacement and SAD that exist in the current version), and enhancing the automation of Phaser runs. The ideal applicant would be someone with experience solving macromolecular crystal structures and programming in both C++ and Python. However, if you only have experience in one of those areas, but a strong desire to expand your skills, then you might be the right person. If you're interested, please look at the formal advertisement (http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/jobs/vacancies.cgi?job=4017), and submit an application as described there. I'm also happy to answer any informal enquiries. The position is funded by a grant from the Wellcome Trust, which extends to May 2013. Please note that the closing date for applications is 2 October 2008. Regards, Randy Read
