Opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow
To study the molecular aspects of length-dependent polyglutamine aggregation using a combination of computer simulations and theoretical approaches
Requirements: A strong background and training in molecular simulation methods (such as Monte Carlo simulations, free energy calculations, Molecular, Stochastic, and Brownian dynamics, and enhanced sampling methods) as applied to the study of complex fluids such as proteins, polymeric systems, and colloids. Experience with molecular mechanics force fields is desirable. A solid grounding in Statistical Physics is absolutely essential. Graduate training should be in one of the following areas: Physical Chemistry, Biophysics, Polymer Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, or Chemical Engineering.
Salary : The chosen candidate will receive a salary that is commensurate with seniority and prior research experience as recommended by NIH guidelines.
Start date : As soon as possible.
Contact : Interested candidates should send a full CV and the names and addresses of at least two references to Rohit Pappu at pappu@wustl.edu via email or Department of Biomedical Engineering, Washington University in St.Louis, One Brookings Drive, St. Louis, MO 63108-4899 via snail mail.
