Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

The position

The position is for a 1.5-year postdoctoral fellowship in the “Mechanism of bioinspired inorganic oxide formation (MInO)” project. The research activity will take place at the CERM in Florence, and foresees national and international collaborations. The project has support from PRIN-PNRR, and is carried out in collaboration with the Department of Chemistry of the University of Torino (Dr. Angelo Gallo).

You will work on molecular simulations of the interaction of soluble precursors of inorganic oxides with proteins and peptides, in solution and in their crystalline forms, as well as the simulation of the interaction of proteins and peptides with the formed inorganic oxides.

  • You hold a PhD (or are near to complete it) in chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, chemical biology, structural biology or related areas.
  • You have experience in molecular simulations (classical and quantum).
  • You are interested in communication and dissemination activities or are willing to learn.
Description of the organization
 
CERM offers unique access to first-class instrumentation for structural biology: twelve high-resolution NMR spectrometers ranging from 400 MHz to 1200 MHz are available. CERM also features an advanced molecular biology laboratory and a biophysical laboratory with last-generation Q-Band CW/FT-EPR (with the possibility of operating in CW-X-band) EPR spectrometer, dynamic light scattering, CD, stopped-flow, fluorimetry, UV-visible spectrophotometers, isothermal micro-calorimeter and differential scanning calorimeter, atomic absorption (ICP-MS). Laboratories equipped for mass spectrometry (ESI and MALDI-TOF) and X-ray diffraction are flanking the NMR research infrastructure. For further information on CERM, please visit http://www.cerm.unifi.it.
 
In our group, an open mindset towards highly interdisciplinary collaborations are more than welcome (e.g.: we collaborate regularly with psychologists, historians of Science...). You will have ample time for discussing new ideas in research and education with colleagues, and you will surely get to know a lot about (paramagnetic) NMR, structural biology methods, and programming.
Do you have questions about this position? Please contact Prof. Enrico Ravera:
