PhD Position in Computational Biophysics, Erlangen, Germany

Projects involve the investigation of 

- membrane-protein - lipid interaction using the method of 
  molecular dynamics simulations
- the design of proteins with modified pre-defined properties
- 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 (PhD) in physics, chemistry, or bioinformatics, with a strong 
theoretical component, be strongly motivated and team-oriented.

The position is limited to three years and is funded according to 
the German E13 scale (50%/100%).

Work of the group for Computational Biology  is focused on the 
prediction of structure, function and (nano)dynamics of membranes and 
proteins.
