Positions

Postdoctoral research position to study the molecular and structural basis for multiprotein mitochondrial assemblies
We are recruiting a postdoc to spearhead a high-risk, high-reward project focused on understanding the dynamics of protein assembly governing heme metabolism.  In addition to structural biology, the laboratory employs various biochemical and biophysical techniques to discern molecular mechanisms, including mass spectrometry, enzyme assays, and various binding assays. Successful applicants will have a foundation in structural biology (X-ray crystallography, NMR, cryo-EM) with further opportunities for cell biology, proteomics, and metabolomics. Candidates are also encouraged to apply for the Destination Biochemistry Postdoctoral Scholar Award. Members of the laboratory will be based in the renovated Biochemistry Department space and will work in a collaborative and interactive community space shared with several other biochemistry laboratories.
Application Details
To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, and names and contact information for three references to Breann Brown

Ongoing
The Brown lab has openings for highly-motivated graduate students from both the IGP and QCB programs. Prospective members must be team players and contribute via participation in regular group meetings and events hosted by the Vanderbilt Center for Structural Biology. Additionally, students are encouraged to take advantage of the programs and events organized by the Biochemistry Graduate Student Association. Interested students should email Professor Brown for more information.

The Brown Lab is located in the newly-renovated laboratory space in the sixth floor of Light Hall. Members will conduct research in a vibrant community atmosphere that encourages collaboration with members of several other Biochemistry labs. Additionally, lab members will have access to various shared equipment, including incubators, shakers, centrifuges, and other equipment necessary for protein purification.
