[3dem] tech and postdoc positions at Brown University

[Deaconescu, Alexandra]

Dear EM enthusiasts,

Please help spread the word about two positions available in my lab!

Thank you,
Alexandra Deaconescu



*POSTDOCTORAL AND TECHNICIAN POSITIONS*

*at Brown University, USA*



The Deaconescu Lab at Brown University has one opening for a postdoctoral
researcher and one technician. 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, electron microscopy). Examples of recent work are:
Schwartz et al, *Protein Science *(2021), Brugger et al, *Nature
Communications *(2020), Dorich et al, *Genes & Development *(2019), Vemu et
al. *Science *(2018), Le TT et al. *Cell* (2018), Szyk et al.,*Cell* (2014).

*A successful postdoctoral candidate* should have an established
track-record of publications in peer-reviewed journals; solid experience
with protein biochemistry (including their purification, functional
characterization and assay development). We have a variety of projects
available at different stages of development, including some that involve
drug design. Prior knowledge of crystallography and/or single-particle
electron microscopy is highly desirable, but not required. Working
knowledge of bacterial genetics could also be an asset.  Must be highly
motivated and work well independently as well as in a team. Excellent
spoken and written English are required. New Ph.D. graduates are encouraged
to apply.

*A successful technician candidate* should preferably have  a degree in
chemistry/biological sciences and more than two years experience at the
bench, at the minimum with molecular biology, and ideally, also with
protein purification and crystallization.



       *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 ranked as 5th best in the US by the Wall Street Journal, 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. We provide a friendly and supportive lab
environment.
