[ccp4bb] Postdoctoral position at Brown University

[Alexandra Deaconescu]

POSTDOCTORAL POSITION

at Brown University, USA

 

The Deaconescu Lab at Brown University has one opening for a postdoctoral 
researcher. The laboratory's interests lie primarily in stress responses, with 
particular emphasis on responses to DNA damage and the mechanochemistry of 
DNA-based motors. We utilize a combination of biochemical, biophysical and 
structural techniques. (e.g. X-ray crystallography, small-angle X-ray 
scattering, transmission electron microscopy). Examples of work are: Brugger et 
al, Nature Communications (2020), Dorich et al, Genes & Development (2019), 
Vemu et al. Science (2018), Le TT et al. Cell (2018), Deaconescu et al. 
Photochemistry and Photobiology (2017), Kutter et al. JMB (2016), Szyk et al, 
Cell (2014), Deaconescu et al., PNAS (2012), Szyk et al., NSMB (2012) and 
Deaconescu et al., Cell (2006).

 A successful candidate should have an established track-record of publications 
in peer-reviewed journals; solid experience with protein biochemistry 
(including their purification from E.coli/yeast,  functional characterization 
and assay development).  Prior knowledge of crystallography and/or 
single-particle electron microscopy is highly desirable. 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. 

Interested candidates should send a CV, a one page research experience summary 
and contact information for three references to 
alexandra_deaconescu[at]brown.edu. Please use “postdoctoral candidate” as a 
subject.

Salary and starting date are negotiable.   Please write Postdoctoral Candidate 
in the e-mail subject header.   Brown University, an Ivy League school, is 
located in Providence, Rhode Island less than one hour away by train from 
Boston.   Rhode Island provides plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation 
with beautiful beaches and sailing.

[ccp4bb] postdoctoral position at Brown University

[Alexandra Deaconescu]

Dear colleagues,

Please see below an announcement regarding an opening for a postdoctoral
associate in structural biology at Brown University. Brown University, an
Ivy League institution, is located in Providence, Rhode Island, less than
one hour away from Boston and three hours away from New York City. The
structural biology facility at Brown’s Laboratories of Molecular Medicine
(LMM) includes, among others, new X-ray crystallography instrumentation
(Rigaku FR-E+ SuperBright with VariMax-HF ArcSec optics, a Saturn
944 CCD detector and ACTOR robotic crystal mounting system), a BIOSAXS-1000
small angle X-ray scattering instrument, and an 850 MHz NMR spectrometer.

Many thanks,

Alexandra

Title: Postdoctoral Research AssociateThe Department of Molecular Biology,
Cell Biology and Biochemistry at Brown University is seeking a Postdoctoral
Research Associate. The position is in the laboratory of Dr. Alexandra
Deaconescu. 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 and transmission electron microscopy). 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 in
biochemistry of complex DNA-binding proteins (such as chromatin remodeling
factors or DNA repair proteins) and eukaryotic expression systems. Prior
knowledge of crystallography would be a plus, but not required. Must be
highly motivated; work independently as well as in a team. Excellent spoken
and written English is required. New Ph.D. graduates are encouraged to
apply. Salary, starting date and project details are negotiable. For more
information about the lab, visit,
https://research.brown.edu/research/profile.php?id=1379608523r=1 Interested
candidates should send a CV, one page research experience summary and
contact information for three references to alexandra_deacone...@brown.edu.
Please write Postdoctoral Candidate in the e-mail subject header. Brown
University is an EEO/AA employer and actively solicits applications from
minorities and women.
