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.
Postdoc position on molecular simulations (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
Institute of Physics at Faculty of Science of University of South Bohemia in Ceske Budejovice (Czech Republic) invites applications for a post-doctorate position funded by Czech Science Foundation (GACR) on the theme "Electron transfer on electrified heterogeneous interfaces with redox metalloproteins" starting as soon as possible.
The research project is focused on the charge-transfer properties of metalloproteins in contact with metal surfaces in vacuum as well as in solution. These are investigated by classical molecular dynamics (MD) techniques, density functional theory (DFT) and their combinations (QM/MM). Special attention is paid to bias-potential and external-electric-field effects on the structure and conductivity of the studied systems.
Highly motivated individuals who have experience with calculations of current-voltage characteristics, classical molecular dynamics of biomolecular systems, or first-principle calculations of interfaces are especially encouraged to apply for the position. Interest in code development (C, Fortran, Python) and/or experience with computational packages such as Gromacs and CP2K is an advantage but not required.
The position is available for 2 years. Eligible candidates will have Ph.D. in computational physics / chemistry or related disciplines obtained no longer than 8 years ago and they should not be older than 35 years.
The project will be supervised by Dr. Zdenek Futera to whom the applications should be submitted ([email protected]). The applications should include (i) CV in PDF format, (ii) a motivation letter briefly describing your research achievements, (iii) complete list of publications, and (iv) contacts to one or two senior scientists who could possibly provide recommendation letters upon our request.
For informal inquiries please contact directly Dr. Z. Futera ([email protected])
