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.
2 PhD positions in Computational (Bio)Physics (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Two PhD positions in Computational (Bio)Physics are available in the group of Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany. One position is focused on multi-scale modeling of excitation energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes. The respective research will involve density functional theory, molecular dynamics as well as quantum dynamical simulations. This project is in close collaboration with the group of Prof. Marcus Elstner at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The other position is focused on the modeling of membrane proteins and especially on transport across bacterial membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. This project is in close collaboration with experimental groups in Bremen and the UK.
The group of Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer is located at Jacobs University Bremen, a private, state-accredited, English-language research university. The research group focuses on modeling dynamical process in (bio)molecular systems using quantum and classical approaches and
especially combinations thereof. Molecular simulations of light-harvesting complexes and membrane proteins are at the center of the research. For more details see http://ukleinekat.user.jacobs-university.de/
The successful candidates should hold a master degree in theoretical (bio)physics or theoretical (bio)chemistry (potentially with an experience in high-performance computer simulations of biological systems). Solid knowledge in the theory of molecular systems and skills in
molecular dynamics simulations are highly desirable. Proficiency in scripting and programming, in particular analysis tools, would be beneficial. A good command of English is essential, both as the local working language and because of our international collaborations.
The position is available immediately and applications will be considered until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a CV, a brief statement of research interests, and the names of two referees by e-mail to Prof. Ulrich Kleinekathoefer at [email protected]
