One postdoctoral position is available immediately in the research
group of Dr. Qiang Cui in the Department of Chemistry at University of
Wisconsin-Madison to conduct research in the area of computational
and theoretical chemistry/biophysics. Qualified candidates should
have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, or related fields. Strong
background in computational/ theoretical chemistry/physics (e.g.,
electronic structure theory, statistical mechanics, computer
simulation) and some programming skills are essential. Experience
with biological systems is desirable but not mandatory. The main
theme of our research is to develop and apply state-of-the-art
computational tools to achieve an understanding of the underlying
mechanism of intermolecular interaction and nuclear dynamics in
complex systems. The systems of primary interest are
macromolecules, particularly enzymes, of biological importance,
although inorganic material, which may serve as ligand to
biomolecules, will also be studied. (See http://mir.harvard.edu/~qiang/
for further details).
The University of Wisconsin-Madison has world-renowned programs
in both physical/theoretical chemistry (http://www.chem.wisc.edu) and
biological sciences (http://www.biochem.wisc.edu), and therefore is a
uniquely exciting place to conduct research in the area of biologically
oriented physical chemistry. Our group will be equipped with a 32-
node Athlon cluster and several SGI workstations; these will be
supplemented by the computational facility in the department, which
includes PC clusters and DEC Alpha work stations. Living-wise,
Madison (which is the state capital of Wisconsin) is often voted as one
of the most livable city in US.
Interested candidates please send C.V., cover letter, and arrange for
at least two recommendation letters to be sent to: Dr. Qiang Cui,
Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University,
12 Oxford St. Cambridge, MA 02138 before July. 31st, and to Dr. Qiang
Cui, Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1101
University Ave. Madison, WI 53706 after July. 31st. Selected reprints/
pre-prints are desirable, but not required. Application materials can
also be sent electronically to: [log in to unmask] in the format
of plain text, Word98, PDF or postscript.
