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
