PhD and Postdoc positions in the Rosta group at ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A 3-year PhD and 1 year research fellow positions are available in the Rosta group at UCL in London. We work on biomolecular simulations in collaboration with experimental groups. The projects focus on QM/MM and MD simulations on key biomolecular systems involved in cancer. We will use state-of-the-art machine learning tools to design small molecules targeting phosphate catalytic enzymes.

Candidates should have a background in molecular modelling, computational chemistry or statistical physics, in line with their experience. A strong programming background is also preferred. Prior training in chemistry, physics, or mathematics, with a degree in a quantitative physical science is expected. You will be highly-motivated, able to work independently and in collaboration with project partners.
For any further information and to express your interest at your earliest convenience, please contact Dr. Edina Rosta: [email protected], please attach a CV and a statement of interest.
