_The Deaconescu Laboratory focuses on structural studies by X-ray
crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy of
protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid complexes, particularly those
involved in DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. For examples of
work in these areas, please see Deaconescu et al., PNAS (2012), Szyk et
al, Cell (2014), Szyk et al., NSMB (2012) and Deaconescu et al., TIBS
(2013). More information about the lab at:

__The desired candidate will be responsible for performing routine lab
work including media preparation, the preparation of solutions and
stocks, cloning, large-scale protein expression, protein purification
using Akta/NGC chromatographic systems, protein characterization using
functional and biophysical methods (EMSAs, activity assays, circular
dichroism), and protein crystallization. Additional responsibilities
include performing general lab administration, which includes the
organization and maintenance of lab databases and stocks, ordering, data
entry and other duties as assigned. Applicant should be highly motivated
with thorough, methodological and accurate work habits. The ideal
candidate has a strong ability to multi-task, has good communication
