Postdoctoral position available in the Life Sciences Simulation group
at the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, CA, USA 
( http://www.almaden.ibm.com/st/computational_science/MSA/ ).
The group is looking for a postdoctoral researcher with a background
in chemistry or physics.  

The applicant is expected to contribute to a research program studying 
the dynamics of liquids under nanoscale confinement as well as studies 
of block copolymer, polymer blend, and organic/inorganic composite 
self-assembly.

Other research areas in the group include simulations to obtain 
small molecule solvation and ligand binding free energies; 
simulations of protein folding thermodynamics and kinetics, 
especially for peptides and small proteins in solvents and near surfaces; 
and simulations of hybrid quantum-classical systems.  

Applicants should have experience in two or more of the following:  
     liquid simulation
     polymer simulation
     scientific programming  

Experience and interest in parallel programming, scientific data analysis,
 and statistical mechanics of liquids, polymers, or transport phenomena 
would also be of benefit.
