Title: Post-doc position in computational
physical-chemistry/biophysics, Institut de Biologie Physico Chimique
(CNRS), Paris, France:
A post-doc position is available starting from spring 2013. 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 of biomolecules and/or liquids using
Molecular Dynamics technique and free energy calculations is required.
Proficiency in parallel computing and programming skills are also highly
desirable. Previous experience in interpreting Neutron Scattering
experiments via in silico modeling is a plus.
The research focuses on thermophilic proteins, and investigates how
protein rigidity/flexibility and the coupling between protein surface
and water contribute to their thermal resistance; we are specifically
interested in the stability of multi-domain proteins. The post-doc
activity will support our on-going collaboration with experimental
teams. Further details and related publications can be found at:
http://www-lbt.ibpc.fr/LBT/index.php?page=sterpone&hl=en
The contract is renewable after the first year up to a total of three
years. The position is funded by the European Research Council
(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 Scientifique (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:
