Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to work in the research group of Dr. Alessandro Pandini on the project "An integrated computational-experimental method to redesign protein dynamics".
The appointee will develop, test and apply novel computational approaches to rationally redesign protein dynamics. The work will involve design and implementation of a novel code, preparation and execution of large scale molecular simulations, analysis of results and integration with experimental data generated at Queen Mary University London (QMUL).
This appointment is funded by the Leverhulme Trust for 24 months. The research project is in collaboration with Dr James Garnett at QMUL.
The appointee will have the opportunity to further extend and develop their expertise in software development, interpretation of experimental data on protein conformational ensembles and use of GPU-based high performance computing.
Candidates are expected to hold a PhD, or equivalent qualification, in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biophysics, Computational Biology or relevant discipline and have a track record of success in high-quality original research. Previous experience in biomolecular simulations and scientific programming is essential. Knowledge of high performance computing environments and data analysis using R statistical environment is desirable.
For informal general discussion regarding the above post, please contact Dr Alessandro Pandini.
Interviews are expected to be during the week commencing 27th November 2017.
Closing date for applications: 16th November 2017
