We are seeking a candidate student (Master or PhD) to work on the development of a multi-purpose computer code MesoBioNano Explorer (MBN Explorer). This computer program was originally developed to study molecular systems of varied level of complexity. In particular, MBN Explorer is suited to compute the system's energy, to optimize structures, as well as to simulate the molecular dynamics. MBN Explorer allows using a broad variety of interatomic potentials, to model different molecular systems, such as atomic clusters, fullerenes, nanotubes, proteins, composite systems, nanofractals, etc. A distinct feature of the program, which makes it significantly different from the already existing codes, is its universality and applicability to a broad range of problems and molecular systems. We are looking for enthusiastic young people to join our team, to work on the further development of the program.
The work on the program development will be integrated with a broad range of research activities of the MesoBioNano Science group of the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies and conducted as a part of Master or PhD student programmes.
Candidate prerequisites
1. Self motivation
2. Basic knowledge in physics, chemistry and/or biophysics
3. Excellent knowledge of object oriented programming languages
4. Knowledge of advanced numerical algorithms
5. Knowledge of parallel computing
6. Knowledge of CUDA programming
7. Excellent English knowledge
