Two PhD positions in Computational Biophysics are available in the group
of Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany.
One position is focused on multi-scale modeling of excitation energy
transfer in light-harvesting complexes. The respective research will
involve density functional theory, molecular dynamics as well as quantum
dynamical simulations. This project is in close collaboration with the
group of Prof. Marcus Elstner at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
The other position is focused on the modeling of membrane proteins and
especially on transport across bacterial membranes using molecular
dynamics simulations. This project is in close collaboration with
experimental groups in Bremen and the UK.
The group of Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer is located at Jacobs
University Bremen, a private, state-accredited, English-language
research university. The research group focuses on modeling dynamical
process in (bio)molecular systems using quantum and classical approaches
and especially combinations thereof. Molecular simulations of
light-harvesting complexes and membrane proteins are at the center of
the research. For more details see
http://ukleinekat.user.jacobs-university.de/
The successful candidates should hold a master degree in theoretical
(bio)physics or theoretical (bio)chemistry (potentially with an
experience in high-performance computer simulations of biological
systems). Solid knowledge in the theory of molecular systems and skills
in molecular dynamics simulations are highly desirable. Proficiency in
scripting and programming, in particular analysis tools, would be
beneficial. A good command of English is essential, both as the local
working language and because of our international collaborations.
The position is available immediately and applications will be
considered until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a CV,
a brief statement of research interests, and the names of two referees
by e-mail to Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer at
