Theoretical and Computational Biophysics group at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) in Seoul, South Korea. Candidates are expected to have a background in physics, theoretical chemistry, or related quantitative sciences, with an ability to carry out both analytical and computational calculations and in particular a strong interest in biological questions.
Possible research topics include:
a) Application of polymer physics or soft matter physics idea to biological problems (e.g. genome/chromosome compaction, effects of molecular crowding, intrinsically disordered proteins)
b) Dynamics and function of biological nanomachines (transport motors, molecular chaperones, SNARE, ... etc) at single molecule level or their collective dynamics.
c) Dynamics of nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), riboswitch, microRNA biogenesis, and RNA-mediated gene regulation.
d) Heterogeneous (Glassy) dynamics in biology.
e) Understanding molecular allostery through molecular simulations, bioinformatics, and network theory.
f) Understanding single molecule measurement data with theoretical and computational modeling.
The initial appointment for the position is for two years and is renewable for up to two additional years, depending on research performance. Those who are interested are encouraged to send a complete curriculum vitae with a cover letter, a list of publications, a research plan, and three letters of recommendation directly to Prof. Changbong Hyeon (e-mail : hyeoncb@kias.re.kr)
