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.

PhD Position in Computational Biophysics at the University of Augsburg
We are offering a PhD position to a highly motivated and dynamic young scientists who wishes to pursue her/his scientific career in a stimulating scientific environment. Successful candidates will join the research group of Prof. Nadine Schwierz as PhD Student in Computational Biophysics (75% TV-L E13). The research in the group of Prof. Schwierz addresses the description of biological systems with computer simulations. The research aims to resolve essential biological processes at the molecular level and to unravel the underlying physical principles. Examples include the folding and function of RNA, the role of metal ions in biological systems or the formation of amyloid fibrils.
Areas of responsibility
- MD, coarse-grained or QM/MM simulations of biological systems
- Application of enhanced sampling techniques and methods of machine learning
- Comparison of simulation results with experiments
- Teaching exercises in Physics/Biophysics
What we offer
- Excellent and interdisciplinary research activities in biomolecular simulations
- Close collaborations with experimental groups
- Outstanding, collaborative, and integrated environment of the greater Munich area
- Access to state-of-the-art supercomputing facilities
Job requirements
- Graduation in Physics, Biophysics of Biochemistry
- Expertise in: Computer simulations, programming
- Very good language knowledge in German and/or English
Please send your application including CV, cover letter, and the name of one referee in electronic form to [email protected].
