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=1379608523&r=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. -- Alexandra M.
