A postdoctoral position in molecular modeling is available  
at the Computational Biology Unit, in the group of Nathalie Reuter 
(http://www.cbu.uib.no/research/reuter). 

In the recent years, one of the groups research focus has been the 
serine proteases of the polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). These enzymes
 are highly homologous, yet they seem to accomplish very distinct 
physiological functions. We have used a collection of molecular modelling 
tools to investigate different aspects of their structure-function 
relationship (substrate specificity, membrane binding, interaction 
with other partners proteins). The successful candidate will have 
the freedom to choose his/her research direction within the scope 
of this project and will be encouraged to develop all the skills 
required for a future independent research career. The project will 
be conducted in close collaboration with our international network 
of collaborators (chemists, biophysicists and molecular biologists).
We are looking for excellent candidates with a strong background in 
theoretical biophysics and molecular modelling (PhD in theoretical biology,
 chemistry or biophysics). Extensive experience with molecular modelling 
tools in general and molecular dynamics simulations in particular is 
required. Experience in normal modes analysis, docking methods, 
predictions of protein-protein interactions will be a strong advantage.

For more information please contact group leader Nathalie Reuter, 
Computational Biology Unit, by phone +47 555 84040 or e-mail 
(nathalie.reuter^^cbu.uib.no).

The position is available as soon as a candidate can start.
