Description
A postdoctoral position in Computational Biophysics is available in Ed O’Brien’s lab, located at the Department of Chemistry at Pennsylvania State University, University Park. A postdoctoral scholar hired into this position will have strong computational skills, including scripting and data analysis of molecular simulations, experience creating or using coarse-grained force-fields for biomolecules, and extensive experience in simulating biomolecules in high-performance computing environments. This researcher’s efforts in the O’Brien lab will be focused on studying the influence of translation kinetics on down-stream in vivo protein behavior. The O’Brien Lab is a multi-disciplinary team of researchers from the fields of Chemistry, Physics and Bioinformatics who are interested in addressing questions at the cutting-edge of molecular and cellular biology through the development and application of computational and theoretical techniques. These tools include mathematical modeling, coarse-grained molecular simulations and bioinformatic methods. A major effort in the lab is to understand non-equilibrium aspects of nascent protein behavior inside cells. The start date is flexible - any time between now and February 2018 is possible. Graduate students who will be finishing their Ph.D. within the next year are encouraged to apply now and arrange for a later start date. Applications should be submitted electronically and should include a cover letter and curriculum vitae, including an explanation of prior training, qualifications for this position, and a list of publications. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Additional information concerning the O’Brien Lab can be found at http://chem.psu.edu/directory/epo2
