Postdoctoral position (TV- L E13) available in Computational Biochemistry within the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1430 "Molecular Mechanisms of Cell State Transitions"
A Postdoctoral position is available at the Computational Biochemistry group (AG Sanchez-Garcia), Center of Medical Biotechnology of the University of Duisburg-Essen, within the framework of the Collaborative Research Center CRC 1430 “Molecular Mechanisms of Cell State Transitions”. The postdoctoral scientist will work on the computational design of chemical tools and inhibitors for the study of proteins and protein -protein interactions involved in cell state transitions. Expertise (evidenced by publications in acknowledged peer-reviewed journals) in docking calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, advanced sampling techniques and free energy calculations is essential. Knowledge of hybrid approaches (QM/MM, MM/CG) and/or machine learning techniques is desirable. The candidate should be able to learn fast, be fluent in English (written and spoken), cooperate with others and reliably perform the research in a careful manner. In addition to scientific excellence, strong work ethics and commitment are essential. Within the Center of Medical Biotechnology, we offer a friendly, highly interdisciplinary, collaborative and international environment with scientific visibility and opportunities for professional growth. The candidates should send motivation letter, CV with list of publication and communication details of three reference contacts to computational_biochemistry2@uni-due.de before July 30^th, 2021.
