Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och rankas återkommande som ett av världens främsta lärosäten. Här finns omkring 47 000 studenter och mer än 8 800 medarbetare i Lund, Helsingborg och Malmö. Vi förenas i vår strävan att förstå, förklara och förbättra vår värld och människors villkor. Lunds universitet välkomnar sökande med olika bakgrund och erfarenheter. Jämställdhet, lika villkor och mångfald är grundläggande principer för alla delar av vår verksamhet. Your team Within the Technical Division, the Software group develops and maintains the control and acquisition system software and user interfaces. We are continuously striving to increase the functionality and the reliability of the whole facility to meet the ambitious research requirements of MAX IV. It is an open and friendly group of 20 developers of diverse backgrounds, where continuous improvement and mentorship is part of our DNA. Agile and lean management methods help us stay focused on software development. Within the Software group we are establishing a development team dedicated to supporting the software used by the Macromolecular X-Ray Crystallography (MX) group. The MX group at MAX IV operates two beamlines: BioMAX and MicroMAX. BioMAX that started user operation in 2017 is a highly versatile state-of-the-art beamline, geared towards high-throughput protein crystallography and automated experiments. MicroMAX that recently started user operation is optimized for microfocus applications and SSX for the study of protein dynamics. The MX group also operates FragMAX, a platform for crystallographic fragment screening. The international and interdisciplinary MX group consists of around 15 people. The new MX software team will work primarily on the MXCuBE data acquisition software and other software tools at the MX beamlines, with a strong focus on maintaining reliability while delivering the features needed to push the limits on Life Science. https://mxcube.github.io/mxcube/ https://fragmax.github.io/ Would you like to work at one of the brightest light sources in the world? We are now looking for a full stack software developer with a desire to work in close cooperation with scientists to bridge science and state-of-the-art software development.
