Dear all, The Brown lab at Harvard Medical School has an opening for a postdoctoral scientist.
The lab uses the latest developments in cryo-EM to understand biological processes at the molecular level (e.g. Nature 524, 493–496 and Science 346, 718–722). The project will involve investigating the structure and function of large macromolecular complexes involved in cellular transport. This includes all steps from construct design to structure determination. In the long term, we aim to use detailed molecular models to facilitate the development of new and better therapeutics. Applicants should hold (or will be shortly awarded) a PhD degree and have experience in molecular biology and protein purification. Prior experience with single-particle cryo-EM or X-ray crystallography is considered a major advantage. Candidates should have strong communication skills and an established record of creativity through principal authorship in peer-reviewed publication(s). The successful candidate should be passionate about science, motivated, proactive, and able to work in a team. While each lab member has their own project, lab members are encouraged to work together to solve common problems. A separate position is available for an outstanding candidate with expertise in electron cryotomography (cryo-ET). If you’re interested in joining the lab, please send your CV with a brief description of your current research as well as 2-3 contacts for references to alan_br...@hms.harvard.edu<mailto:alan_br...@hms.harvard.edu> before the 8th August 2017.
