Postdoc in Protein Biophysics, Modeling, and Simulation
About The Position
Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Harish Vashisth in Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of New Hampshire ( UNH ), Durham, NH. The positions are within the broad area of protein biophysics, structural modeling, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, where the dynamics and interactions in protein-based systems are to be explored. The postdoctoral researcher(s) will be provided access to state-of-the-art supercomputing facilities with advanced GPU and data storage capabilities. Additionally, opportunities will be available for collaboration with experimental groups involved in NMR spectroscopy, chemical cross-linking/mass-spectrometry, and mutagenesis studies. Moreover, structured mentoring and professional development opportunities (attending workshops & conferences) and interactions with interdisciplinary researchers via an NIH -funded Center of Integrated Biomedical and Bioengineering Research ( CIBBR ) will also be provided. The appointments are initially for one year with the possibility of renewal in subsequent years pending available funding, and conditional on the satisfactory progress as well productivity of the postdoctoral researcher(s). Typical projects in the laboratory are related to development of novel MD simulation methodologies and their applications to protein dynamics and interactions, often targeted at developing therapeutic approaches.
