A postdoctoral position will be available from June 1 2012 for a period of 6 months (with a renewal of another 15 months), to work in simulations of protein folding with Dr. Patricia Faisca and members of her group. The successful candidate will explore fundamental aspects of protein folding (including co-translational folding, folding cooperativity and study of the denatured state) with a plethora of computational methods ranging from lattice Monte Carlo simulations to atomistic off-lattice models explored with molecular dynamics simulations.
The successful candidate will be part of the Physics of Biological Systems group (http://physbio.cii.fc.ul.pt/PBS ), which is hosted by the Centre for Condensed Matter Physics of the University of Lisbon. Applicants should have a PhD degree in physics or biophysics, physical or theoretical chemistry and closely related areas, and experience in molecular simulations.
To apply please send a detailed CV, motivation letter and name of two references to:
Dr. Patricia Faisca
Centro de Física da Matéria Condensada da Universidade de Lisboa
Av. Prof. Gama Pinto 2
1649-003 Lisboa
