Subject: 08.06.13 Postdoctoral fellow in Molecular Modelling, University of Bergen, Norway
Postdoctoral fellow in Molecular Modelling, University of Bergen, Norway
A position as Postdoctoral Fellow in Molecular Modelling is opened
in the group of Nathalie Reuter at the Computational Biology Unit
(
http://www.cbu.uib.no/research/reuter). The successful candidate
will also be affiliated to the Department of Molecular Biology.
In the recent years, one research focus of the group has been
the serine proteases of the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN).
These enzymes are highly homologous, yet they seem to accomplish
very distinct physiological functions. We have used a collection
of molecular modelling tools to investigate different aspects of
their structure-function relationship (substrate specificity,
membrane binding, interaction with other partners proteins).
The project will be conducted in close collaboration with our
international network of collaborators (chemists, biophysicists
and molecular biologists).
We are looking for excellent candidates with a strong background
in theoretical biophysics and molecular modelling (PhD in theoretical
biology, chemistry or biophysics). Extensive experience with molecular
modelling tools in general and molecular dynamics simulations in
particular is required. Experience in normal modes analysis,
docking methods, peptide-protein interactions and/or study of
enzymatic reactions will be a strong advantage.
The application deadline is June 30th, 2008.
