PhD Position in Computer-Aided Protein

The research group for 'Computational Biology' at the University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, offers a PhD position, starting between 01.02.2013-01.05.2013.

Projects involve the 

- design of proteins with modified pre-defined properties and the
- development of novel methods for the prediction of binding affinities of peptidic ligands and drugs to proteins, including full flexibility for both the ligand and the receptor.

The candidate for this position is expected to have completed a Master in physics, chemistry, or (bio)informatics, with a strong theoretical component, be strongly motivated and team-oriented.
Profound knowledge of a programming knowledge is required.

The position is limited to three years and is funded according to the German E13 scale (50-70%).

Work of the group for Computational Biology is focused on the prediction of structure, function and (nano)dynamics of membranes and proteins. Currently, the group consists of a Postdoc and seven PhD students.

Erlangen is located next to Nuremberg, a lively city of about half a million inhabitants, with a visible history of almost one thousand years (< 2 hours to Munich, < 3 hours to Prague). 

Interested candidates should send their application by e-mail (one pdf document containing letter, cv, certificates, references) to rainer.boeckmann@fau.de
