Computational Systems Biology Postdoctoral Position in Methods Development
Postdoctoral applicants are sought in Computational Systems Biology to work with Professor Jeffrey Skolnick. Specific areas include the development and application of novel algorithms for the:
- Protein biochemical function prediction
- Proteome scale virtual ligand screening
- Prediction of off target uses of all FDA approved drugs
- Structure prediction of all membrane protein families followed by virtual ligand screening
- Prediction of protein-protein, protein-DNA interactions and protein-RNA interactions
- Development of multiscale modeling approaches for the simulation of virtual cells
Highly creative and outstanding individuals are sought with the following qualifications:
- Extensive experience in developing computer code in languages such as Fortran, C, C++, Perl.
- Previous experience doing international quality research in structural modeling, virtual ligand screening, large scale biological simulations, Brownian or Stokesian Dynamics, bioinformatics, or computational genomics would be major advantages.
- A track record of publication in high quality, international journals.
- Ability to work in a team, yet think independently.
