PhD positions in molecular simulation - Max Planck Institute, Germany

[sharim]

Hello. I found this PhD position on naturejobs.com

"""
PhD positions at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Gottingen, Germany.

PhD student positions in the computational biomolecular dynamics group at the Max Planck Institute for biophysical Chemistry in Gottingen, Germany are available to start immediately.
Possible projects include:

* the development and application of highly efficient enhanced sampling algorithms based on collective coordinates;
* the rational design of model membrane channels; the study of membrane-channel interactions;
* the development of accurate and efficient simulation techniques for the affinity prediction of putative blockers to membrane channels;
* the development and application of ensemble refinement techniques to study protein structure and dynamics based on NMR data.

All projects will use molecular dynamics and related computational techniques and will be carried out in close collaboration with experimental groups.

The successful candidate should have a degree in physics or chemistry, should have basic knowledge of structural biology and should have a strong interest in computational biophysics. Payment will be according to the German TVoD standard.

The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.

Please send your application documents before August 31th, 2008 as copies and not originals, as we cannot send documents back. Applications by email are preferred.
Applicants should send an application letter + CV (including the names of at least two people who would be willing to send a letter of recommendation) to: (preferably by email)
