PhD position on protein-protein docking in the Computational Biophysics group (Head: Martin Zacharias) at Jacobs University Bremen, Germany A PhD position (funded by DFG) is available in the computational biophysics group at the Jacobs University Bremen, Germany, to start immediately. The focus of the planned research is to study protein-protein and protein-ligand association using computational docking methods. It will include the development of strategies to effectively include conformational flexibility during docking and to improve the scoring of docked solutions. Focus will be in part on methods development and on applications to systems of biological interest. New developments will be integrated into the flexible protein docking program Attract that performed very well in recent Capri protein-protein docking challenges. The successful candidate should have a diploma or master degree in physics, (bio-)chemistry, bioinformatics or computer science and a strong interest in (bio)molecular simulations. Experience with the Linux operating system and a programming language is also required. The salary for the position is according to German BatIIa/2 level. The campus and teaching language at the Jacobs University Bremen is English.
