Title: Post-doc position in computational chemistry/biophysics,
Institut de Biologie Physico Chimique (CNRS), Paris, France:
Tags: molecular modeling, QM/MM simulations, enzymatic activity,
thermostability
A post-doc position is available starting from June 2014. The candidate
will work in the group of Dr. Fabio Sterpone in Paris, in the
Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique at the Institut de Biologie
Physico-Chimique (http://www-lbt.ibpc.fr/); the research will focus on
the study of thermophilic proteins using computational methods.
The successful candidate must hold a PhD in Chemistry/Biophysics or
related fields with a strong background in
physical-chemistry/biophysics/statistical mechanics. An extensive
expertise in computer simulations based on QM/MM techniques for
investigating enzymatic activity is required. Proficiency in parallel
computing and programming skills are also highly desirable.
The research focuses on (hyper)-thermophilic proteins, and investigates
how these proteins stay stable and functional at high temperature while
they lack enzymatic activity at ambient conditions. Further details and
related publications can be found at:

The contract is renewable after the first year up to a total of two
years. The position will be funded by the European Research Council via
the ERC-Starting Grant Program IDEAS. The exact salary will depend on
the candidate’s experience as evaluated by the French Centre National de
la Recherche (CNRS) salary grid.
The Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique is an internationally recognized
laboratory with the mission of developing and applying computational
methodologies to solve biological relevant problems. The members are
active in the fields of docking, atomistic and coarse-grained
simulations tackling problems as protein/protein and protein/DNA
interactions, dynamics and function of membrane proteins, protein
folding and aggregation.
Interested applicants should send a detailed CV and have three reference
letters sent to:
