Announcement for a Position at the Post-Doctoral Level in Theoretical Computational Biophysics
The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics group of Assoc. Prof. Georgios Archontis in the Department of Physics, University of Cyprus is interested to employ a researcher at the post-doctoral level.
The successful candidate will work on a project that focuses on (i) improvement of a structural model for a GPCR receptor that is part of the complement immune system, (ii) understanding the receptor regulation by small molecules, and (iii) design of improved receptor antagonists. The research will be conducted in collaboration with the groups of Prof. Dimitrios Morikis (Bourns College of Engineering, UC Riverside) and Prof. Trent Woodruff (School of Biomedical Sciences, the University of Queensland). The project is funded by the University of Cyprus.
The position is available in September 2013 for one year, with a renewal possibility for a second year. The qualified applicants should hold a PhD in Biophysics, Physics, Chemistry or related discipline, proven experience in biomolecular dynamics simulations and strong programming skills. Expertise with simulations of membrane proteins is desirable. The successful applicants should be highly motivated, have the ability to work independently and in a team, and have good spoken and written command of English.
The Biophysics group at the University of Cyprus is well equipped with state-of-the-art linux clusters dedicated to biophysics simulations.
Interested candidates are invited to send a CV, including the names of three referees and a description of research experience to Dr. Georgios Archontis ([log in to unmask]), until August 20, 2013. For more information, please contact Dr. Archontis at the above e-mail address.
