Computational Structural Biology / Biophysics - Oregon Health & Science University
A Postdoctoral Position is available for the development of computer methods to fit atomic models to electron microscope reconstructions.  It involves the testing of optimization algorithms and development of restraints applicable at low resolution (http://xtal.ohsu.edu).  Test applications to the ribosome will be in collaboration with Joachim Frank.  Candidates should have experience of software development in computational or experimental structural biology (electron microscopy or x-ray crystallography).  Other projects in the lab include enzyme dynamics and structural virology pursued by x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy and other methods, so opportunities will exist for complementing computational methods development with experimental studies.  E-mail curriculum vitae and contact information for 3 referees to Michael Chapman at [log in to unmask]
