The Deaconesculaboratory's interests lie primarily in stress responses, with particular
emphasis on responses to DNA damage. 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
by two new multi-year grants from the NIH.
A successful postdoctoral or staff scientist candidate should have an established track-record of
publications in peer-reviewed journals; solid experience with protein
biochemistry (their purification 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. Knowledge of bacterial genetics also an asset. Must be highly motivated
and work well independently as well as in a team. Excellent spoken and written English
are required.
Salary and starting date are negotiable. 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 and we offer a
friendly and supportive lab environment.
