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.

Machine Learning for Medicine: Accelerating Meta ... (No replies)

Project: In the context of 3-dimensional porous supramolecular materials (metallacages) computational methods hold promise to accelerate the challenging process of designing and optimizing their host-guest chemistry and encapsulation properties. Amongst the possible atomistic simulation approaches, metadynamics (metaD) has proven very powerful. However, the choice of high level chemical descriptors, i.e. the collective variables (CVs), to accelerate the numerical computation is not trivial for complex systems. To automate the process of CVs identification, we apply here different machine learning algorithms to the metaD simulation of metallacages designed for biomedical applications, including drug delivery, imaging and therapy.

Position: 1 year funded 100% TV-L E13 position (German system). The position will be shared between the two groups of Prof. Angela Casini and Prof. Alessio Gagliardi at the Technische Universität München.

Requirements: we hire a PostDoc with expertise in (i) atomistic modelling (Density Functional Theory, Molecular Dynamics, ab-initio Molecular Dynamics, Metadynamics) and (ii) machine learning (mostly deep learning algorithms) to develop new data driven methods for metadynamics to accelerate the optimization of supramolecular materials (metallacages) for medical applications.
