The
Deaconescu Lab at
Brown University has an opening for a postdoctoral associate.
The laboratory's
interest is the interplay between DNA repair, transcription and
chromatin
remodeling, and is focused on elucidating the function and
mechanochemistry of
DNA-based motors using a combination of biochemical, biophysical
and structural
techniques. (e.g. X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray
scattering,
transmission electron microscopy). For examples of work, please
see Kutter et
al. JMB (2016), Deaconescu et al., PNAS (2012), Szyk et al, Cell
(2014), Szyk
et al., NSMB (2012) and Deaconescu et al., TIBS (2013). A
successful candidate
should have the following qualifications: a Ph.D. in the field
of Molecular
Biology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry or related field; an
established
track-record of publications in peer-reviewed journals; solid experience with X-ray crystallography,
especially data collection
and all aspects of data processing and molecular modeling.
Must be highly motivated
and work
independently as well as in a team. Excellent spoken and written
English are
required. New Ph.D. graduates are encouraged to apply. Salary
and starting date
are negotiable.
Interested
candidates
should send a CV, one page research experience summary and
contact information
for three references to [log in to unmask]. Salary and starting date are negotiable. Please write Postdoctoral
Candidate in the
e-mail subject header. Brown
University,
an Ivy League school, is located less than one hour away by
train
from Boston. Lab
