We are seeking a talented, highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join the multidisciplinary team of the RCSB Protein Data Bank at UC San Diego, San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).
Fast and accurate search of protein structures by 3-dimensional shape in large databases continues to be a challenge in Bioinformatics. This has been exacerbated by the recent appearance of accurate methods to predict protein structures from sequence. Those methods, when applied to existing protein sequence databases, produce numbers of structures many orders of magnitude larger than the existing experimental knowledge in the PDB database. The incumbent will research novel methods to compare macromolecula
