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 Hamburg on proton migration in p ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Exciting PhD position at the Hamburg University of Technology and the German Electron Synchroton is now open for applications!
Here's a short description of this topic.
Utilizing the unique pulsed features of x-ray free-electron laser (FELs), it will become possible not only to study the structure of radiation sensitive and fragile proteins as well as complexes, but also to gain a deeper understanding of their dynamics. Going beyond well-ordered systems, it is expected that the combination of x-ray scattering and x-ray spectroscopy methods combined with advanced molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and ab-initio techniques to predict the density of states leads to real-time dynamics information about molecular migration and overall structural dynamics information of protein entities. The DASHH graduate school provides a unique opportunity to develop and optimize theoretical predictions and simulation algorithms utilizing the provided FEL and synchrotron based spectroscopic data – from small peptides up to hierarchically built-up proteins.
Requirements for this position: Master’s degree particular in physics, chemistry or materials science as well as computer science (possibly with specialization in physics- or chemoinformatics). Special knowledge in the fields of molecular dynamics simulations (e.g. with the open source software LAMMPS), density functional theory simulations (e.g. with VASP), machine learning techniques or advanced sampling methods (e.g. Umbrella Sampling or Metadynamics) is advantageous.

I'm happy to receive your applications!
