Postdoctoral Positions in Structural Bioinformatics

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.  The starting date is negotiable.

Applicants should send a CV, contact information of three references and a one-page cover letter 
describing prior research experience and candidate suitability to Professor Grant 
(bgrant@mccammon.ucsd.edu).  Please combine all files into one PDF, and use the subject line
