POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS at Brown University, USA
The Deaconescu Lab at Brown University has two openings for postdoctoral
researchers. The laboratory's interest is the interplay between DNA repair,
transcription and other cellular processes ensuring microbial adaptation to
stressful environments. We deploy 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
Brugger et al, Nature Communications (2021), Dorich et al., Genes and
Development (2019), Le et al. Cell (2018), Vemu et al., Science (2018), Kutter
et al. JMB (2016), Szyk et al, Cell (2014). Positions are partially or
completely funded from NIH grants.
The first position is focused on protein purification,
characterization and structure determination by X-ray crystallography. Previous
experience with biophysical methods (ITC, MST, fluorescence) and enzymatic
assays a plus.
The second position will be focused on cryo-EM. A successful
candidate should be familiar with specimen preparation, data collection as well
as the processing of images acquired using electron cryo-microscopy. We have
our own Vitrobot for specimen vitrification and access to state-of-the art
electron microscopes at Stanford/SLAC (remote data collection is possible) as
well as a computing cluster. If needed further training in EM can be provided.
The candidates should also have the following qualifications: a Ph.D. in the
field of structural biology or related field; an established track-record of
publications in peer-reviewed journals. 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. The lab has its own
Vitrobot, multiple protein purification platforms and a crystallization robot
etc. Access to EM facilities also available.
Interested candidates should send a CV, one page research experience
summary and contact information for three references to
alexandra_deacone...@brown.edu <mailto:alexandra_deacone...@brown.edu>. Salary
and starting date are negotiable. Please write Postdoctoral Candidate in the
e-mail subject header. Brown University, an Ivy League school, is located
less than one hour away by train from Boston. Lab webpage:
