Postdoc in Structural Bioinformatics and Biomolecular Modeling

Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB) at the University of Michigan,  Ann Arbor has postdoctoral openings in structural bioinformatics and biomolecular modeling.

The Grant lab ( http://thegrantlab.org/ ) is pursuing an unprecedented understanding of the  structure, dynamics and interactions of key biomolecules. Current projects focus on molecular motor and molecular switch systems, and entail the development and application of state-of-the-art computational techniques to facilitate efficient inhibitor development and the engineering of novel biomachines.

Ideal candidates will have a strong quantitative background (Ph.D. in bioinformatics, computational biology or related field); Extensive knowledge of molecular simulation protocols (molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics), and computer programming (R, Python, C); Excellent communication skills, and a high level of enthusiasm to engage with experimental scientists. Candidates with interdisciplinary training in biology and computing are especially encouraged to apply.

Review of applicants begins immediately and will continue until the positions are filled. To be  considered as an applicant you should send a CV, contact information of three references and a one-page cover letter describing prior research experience and suitability to Professor Grant (bjgrant@umich.edu).

Please combine all files into one PDF, and use the subject line Postdoc Application: (name of the applicant).
