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.
Postdoctoral position in computational physical ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
As a postdoctoral researcher in the Physical Biosciences group, you will join a talented, multi investigator team to explore the functional principles at the core of the precise energy, mass and charge flow, and reactivity in enzymes. You will be mentored by Simone Raugei, as you develop a line of computational research, working to understand the mechanism of important enzymes that catalyze activation of energy relevant molecules to empower the design of highly selective, efficient, and sustainable bio-inspired catalysts.
The Ideal Candidate
If you are a postdoctoral researcher ready to test your talents and training in computational biophysics or chemistry and hone your skills at a national laboratory widely recognized for its work in the physical sciences, we want to connect with you. Details are below; you do not need to meet all of the preferred qualifications to be considered.
What you will do:
• Conduct independent research and work on team assignments
• Lead manuscript development and maintain a strong overall publication record in the peer-reviewed
scientific literature
• Interact, communicate, and problem solve with a diverse team of research staff within the Physical
Biosciences group, PSD and across PNNL and numerous academic collaborators
• Present research at technical conferences and project/program review meetings
• Participate in the development of research proposals
Minimum requirements:
Candidates must have received a PhD within the past five years (60 months) or within the next 8 months from an accredited college or university.
Preferred qualifications:
• Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Physics, Biophysics, Biochemistry or related fields
• Training and aptitude in computational chemistry/physics/biophysics methods
Preferred Qualifications (not all need to be met):
• Strong verbal and written communications skills
• Knowledge of computational chemistry methodologies, such as ab initio electronic structure approaches and/or molecular dynamics.
• Experience with molecular dynamics simulation packages (Gromacs, NAMD, etc.), condensed phase density functional theory codes (CPMD, Quantum espresso, CP2K, VASP, etc.) and/or quantum chemical software (Gaussian, NWChem, Games, etc.).
• Programming skills (Fortran, C, C++) and experience with modern high-performance computation platforms are desirable.
• The ability to adapt, refine, or innovate computational tools as needed.
