The research group for 'Computational Biology' at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg offers a PhD position. Projects involve the investigation of
- membrane-protein - lipid interactions using the method of molecular dynamics simulations
- the design of proteins with modified pre-defined properties
- the development of novel methods for the prediction of binding affinities of peptidic ligands and drugs to proteins.
The candidate for this position is expected to have completed a Master in chemistry or physics with a strong theoretical component, be strongly motivated and team-oriented. The position is limited to three years and is funded according to the German E13 scale (50%). Work of the group for Computational Biology is focused on the prediction of structure, function and (nano)dynamics of membranes and proteins.
