Phd and Postdoc positions in Single-Particle Dynamics Simulation of Cellular Processes
We are developing high-performance computing tools for particle-based reaction diffusion dynamics with full spatiotemporal resolution. Here, individual particles correspond to biomolecules (e.g. proteins or protein domains), which can react with another (e.g. binding, catalysis), and diffuse around in an inter-particle potential (e.g. electrostatics and van der Waals repulsion). These efforts contribute to the evolution of a “structural systems biology”, which we believe to become a major branch of computational biology within the next years.
We are seeking highly talented and responsible scientists who are motivated to work in the projects involving computational biophysics / scientific computing in systems biology. The education of the candidate may be in any of bioinformatics, physics, chemistry or mathematics. Essential abilities are object-oriented programming, pragmatism, and the willingness to model biologically relevant processes in close collaboration with experimentalists.
Excellent postdoctoral candidates may be offered up to 4 years and the possibility to supervise a PhD student. Applications with a background in molecular dynamics of complex systems are explicitly welcome.

Phd positions in Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Markov Modeling
We are developing theoretical methods to simulate and model the dynamics of biomolecules. This includes Markov state model based methods to simulate and analyze molecular dynamics using atomistic models, and Hidden Markov model based methods to analyze single molecule experiments.
We are seeking highly talented scientists who are motivated to apply (and possibly extend) innovative methods to analyze conformational dynamics of biomolecules. Close collaboration with our experimental partners is expected.
