The Institute of Computational Biomedicine IAS-5/INM-9 at the Jülich Research Center (http://www.fz-juelich.de/ias/ias-5/EN/Home/home_node.html) uses and develops high performance computing-based multiscale simulations to investigate key molecular events for neuronal function and dysfunction.

We are currently searching PhD students who will investigate allosteric ligand binding to neuroreceptors for medical applications. A master in physics, chemistry, applied mathematics or computer science, along with an excellent knowledge of written and oral English, are required.

We offer a position in a creative and international environment with the opportunity to work in a unique interdisciplinary team. The projects will be carried out in close collaborations with experimental labs. Payment of the PhD fellow will be based on salary grade EG 13 (70%) Collective Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD).

The Jülich Research Center is one of the largest research centers in Germany, with excellent scientific equipment and leading European computational resources, located on a green campus, and near the cultural centers Köln, Düsseldorf, and Aachen.

The PhD positions are available for 3 years.

Enquires should be sent to Paolo Carloni: [email protected]
