Positions available for Postdocs and PhD students in the Molecular Biomechanics group at HITS, Heidelberg
You are a highly motivated scientist and looking for an
interdisciplinary research group to work on computational biology
questions? We are seeking talented scientists to join the Molecular
Biomechanics group at HITS as either a postdoc or a PhD student.
Research projects focus on the link between mechanical forces and
biology by addressing the basic principles of protein mechanical
function. They involve Molecular Dynamics simulations, Finite Element
methods, bioinformatics, network theory, or combinations thereof. Within
our research field, you are invited to develop own scientific ideas and
projects. You will work in close collaboration with experimentalists in
Heidelberg or elsewhere. For more details regarding projects, check the
attachment, visit
mbm.h-its.org, or directly contact
Frauke Graeter.
HITS gGmbH is a private non-profit research institute carrying out
multidisciplinary research in the computational sciences. It receives
basic funding from the Klaus Tschira Foundation. The institute provides
excellent computational facilities and is located in a lush neighborhood
next to the historic center of Heidelberg. Its ties to multiple
research institutions worldwide, including the second foothold of the
group at the
MPG-CAS Partner Institute for Computational Biology, Shanghai, represent an excellent network for scientific exchange and research collaborations.
Postdoc candidates:
You should possess a PhD degree in
computational biophysics, biochemistry, material science, or a related
discipline. You should have a firm background in biomolecular
simulations and programming, and a strong interest in interdisciplinary
research.
To apply, please enter your application including a cover letter, your CV, a publication list and contact details of referees
here
Applications must be submitted by October 31, 2012.
PhD candidates
