A postdoctoral position in the newly founded Computational Biotechnology group at the RWTH Aachen University in Germany is available. We offer a fixed-term contract for one year, extendable up to three years.

Job Description

Computational modeling of nanopores in materials for sensing biomolecules will be modelled at the level of density functional theory, as well as ab initio and atomistic Molecular Dynamics. The simulations will be complex as they will involve materials, solvents, and (bio)molecules. In addition, Machine Learning approaches will be used to analyze relevant experimental data.

Requirements

The position requires a university PhD degree in the Natural Sciences. Specifically, candidates with the following qualifications are encouraged to apply:

-strong theoretical background in one of Physics/Chemistry/Biology

-strong experience with computer simulations in the Natural Sciences

-experience with Machine Learning algorithms

-above average academic achievements

-enthusiasm to learn beyond your individual research topic

-willingness to actively collaborate with other researchers and disseminate research in different formats.
