Opportunity: Postdoctoral Position in COMP. CHEM./COMP. BIOPHYSICS--Michigan

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position starting September 2003 or later in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology within the Center for Biological Modeling at Michigan State University (http://biomodel.msu.edu). The position is available initially for 1 year with the possibility for extension.

Research interests focus on three main areas: Modeling of large supramolecular assemblies, in particular interactions between mismatched DNA and the mismatch recognition protein mutS; development of hybrid explicit/implicit solvation methods; and development and application of novel methods for protein structure prediction and refinement.

Ideal candidates would have a strong background in computational or theoretical chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, structural biology or related discplines. Familiarity with computational chemistry methods, experience in molecular modeling and simulation of biological systems, advanced programming skills, knowledge of the UNIX/Linux operating system, and an interest in developing new methodologies are highly desirable.

MSU, located in East Lansing, Michigan, provides a unique and challenging interdiscplinary research environment at the interface of biological and physical sciences. East Lansing, located between the Great Lakes, offers a pleasant living environment with many cultural events and excellent opportunities for outdoor activities.

Interested applicants should send a curriculum vitae, including relevant experiences, a list of publications, and contact information of three references, to the address listed below. Electronic responses are highly encouraged.
