The ESRF \u2013 the European Synchrotron \u2013 was the world\u2019s first third\u2010generation synchrotron and is the world’s most intense X\u2010ray source providing unrivalled opportunities for scientists in the exploration of materials and living matter. Each year more than 30 ESRF\u2010based experimental facilities, each equipped with state\u2010of\u2010the\u2010art instrumentation, welcome more than 9000 scientists for experiments in areas ranging from hard condensed matter to Cell\/Structural Biology. Activities in Structural Biology, including the development of state\u2010of\u2010the\u2010art instrumentation and automation overseen by the ESRF\u2010EMBL Joint Structural Biology Group, have been a major success story of the ESRF, supporting Nobel Prize\u2010winning work in structural studies of membrane proteins, ribosomes and G\u2010 protein coupled receptors and providing diffraction and, more recently, cryo\u2010electron microscopy data for 15,000 depositions in the Protein Data Bank. 2020 will see the completion of the construction of the Extremely Brilliant Source (ESRF\u2010EBS). Here, X\u2010ray performance will increase by a factor 100, providing exciting new opportunities in X\u2010ray science including systems, cell and structural biology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a partner in this project, the ESRF intends to cooperate with the EMBL towards training the Fellows. ESRF can host up to three Fellows per year in the period 2020\u20102024 through secondments, and introduce them to the methods, instrumentation and procedures at the ESRF. Duration of secondments will be between 2 and 6 months and will be arranged in communication with the Fellow. Fellows who will be seconded to the ESRF will come from the fields related to or complementary to the fields of work of the ESRF. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the ESRF, Fellows will have a possibility to learn about synchrotron\u2010based facilities for structural, cell and systems biology including those exploiting X\u2010ray diffraction, small\u2010angle X\u2010ray scattering (SAXS), X\u2010ray imaging and fluorescence microscopy. The Fellows will also have a chance to become acquainted with the operation of synchrotron beamlines for macromolecular crystallography, including high throughput and serial methods, SAXS and beamlines for cell and systems biology. <\/strong>The ESRF will dedicate supervision capacity for each fellow on secondments. During secondments, Fellows will remain employed by EMBL but will have Visiting Scientist status at the ESRF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ESRF intends also to host mini\u2010secondments of a duration of up to two weeks, during which Fellows will shadow operations at its facilities (see above).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
