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 Physical Biosciences at ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Biophysical Sciences group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory seeks a motivated post-doctoral fellow in computational biophysics to join a theoretical/experimental team whose focus is on elucidating catalytic principles and reactivity in enzymes that catalyze activation of energy-relevant molecules to empower the design of highly selective, efficient, and sustainable bio-inspired catalysts. The postdoc will work under the mentorship of Simone Raugei and Bojana Ginovska. The candidate will work on problems related to metalloenzymes for which a background in inorganic chemistry will be an asset. The candidate will interact with both theory and experimental colleagues on collaborative projects.
