Postdoctoral Research Associate
Closing date: 21/10/2012
Reference: EPS-01663
Location: Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, The University of Manchester
Salary: £29,249 to £35,938
Duration: 3 years
A Postdoctoral Research Associate position in theoretical, computational and biophysical chemistry is available in the group of Dr Richard Henchman at the University of Manchester.
The aim of the project is to develop a new method to calculate the free energy of a protein directly from a computer simulation. This in turn will be used to understand the structure, stability and function of proteins. This builds on the successful approach already developed in Dr Henchman's group for liquids and solutions.
You must hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD degree in chemistry, physics or related discipline, or have equivalent experience, as well as a good command of programming languages (the more of Fortran, C++, Python, CUDA, OpenCL, the better) and experience in molecular simulation. You must have excellent analytical and problem solving skills and strong communication skills, both written and oral. A background in theoretical development and familiarity with biomolecules are desirable.
