Dear structural biology enthusiasts,
An NIH-funded postdoc position is available immediately in my lab.
Please see below,
*POSTDOCTORAL POSITION*
*at Brown University, USA*
The Deaconescu Lab at Brown University is seeking an ambitious, and
energetic postdoctoral. The laboratory's interest is the interplay
between DNA repair and other cellular processes including 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 Deaconescu et al. Photochem. Photobiol.
(2016), Kutter et al. JMB (2016), Szyk et al, Cell (2014),Deaconescu et
al., PNAS (2012), Szyk et al., NSMB (2012), Deaconescu et al., TIBS
(2012), Deaconescu et al, Cell (2006). A successful candidate should
have the following qualifications: a Ph.D. in the field of Molecular
Biology, Structural Biology and Biochemistry or related field; an
established track-record of publications in peer-reviewed journals;
solid experience in the biochemistry of complex DNA-binding proteins
(such as chromatin remodeling factors, transcription factors and DNA
repair proteins), their purification from E.coli/yeast expression
systems as well as their characterization using functional studies such
as by isothermal titration calorimetry and fluorescence.Prior knowledge
of crystallography would be a plus, but is not required. 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
