EMBL Grenoble specializes in fundamental research in structural biology, and in developing state-of-the art instrumentation, methods and services. The site is located on the dynamic European Photon and Neutron science campus (EPN campus), together with other international and French research institutions.
We are looking for a Research Technician to join Marquez Team in the EMBL Grenoble Unit.
The Marquez team has a strong focus on technology and methods development in macromolecular crystallography and operates the High Throughput Crystallization Laboratory (HTX Lab) at EMBL Grenoble. The HTX lab is one of the largest platforms for automated macromolecular crystallization screening in Europe and is offering advanced crystallography services to users in academia and industry worldwide.
The Marquez Team has developed automated pipelines for ligand and fragment-based screening by X-ray crystallography based on the CrystalDirect technology for automated crystal harvesting and the CRIMS software. These pipelines are applied to study targets of biotechnological and biomedical relevance.



The successful candidate will contribute towards the operation of the HTX facility as well as the development of innovative methods in protein crystallography.
Your role
You will cooperate with other team members towards the operation of the HTX facility, further development of our automated crystallography and fragment screening pipelines and will contribute to research projects.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Operation of the automated crystallography platform comprising automated liquid handling, imaging and crystal harvesting robotic systems. Liaising with HTX lab users.
- Contributing to further development of automated crystallography pipelines for fragment screening based on the CrystalDirect technology and the CRIMS software within the framework of the EC funded projects, including the Fragment Screen project.
- DNA cloning, protein expression and purification and protein cr
