[3dem] postdoc position at Brown University

[Alexandra Deaconescu]

Dear colleagues,

Please see below an ad for a postdoc position in my lab. We are well 
equipped for computation and specimen preparation and the lab is also in 
the process of acquiring  its own plunge-freezing instrument. Multiple 
cryo-EM facilities (equipped with Krios and Arctica microscopes) are 
located less than one hour away from Brown. Position is available 
immediately, but starting date is negotiable.

Thank you,

Alexandra Deaconescu


POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
at Brown University, USA

The Deaconescu Lab at Brown University has one opening for a 
postdoctoral researcher. 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, transmission electron microscopy). For 
examples of work, please see Le et al. Cell (2018), Kutter et al. JMB 
(2016), Szyk et al, Cell (2014), Deaconescu et al., PNAS (2012), Szyk et 
al., NSMB (2012) and Deaconescu et al., TIBS (2013).
     A successful candidate should be proficient with specimen 
preparation, data collection as well as the processing of images 
acquired using electron cryo-microscopy and 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.  Experience in protein biochemistry would be a 
plus, but  assistance and training in protein biochemistry will be 
provided if needed. 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, one page research experience 
summary and contact information for three references to 
alexandra_deaconescu[at]brown.edu.  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:
