Subject: <STRONG>09.10.19 Ab initio molecular dynamics of charge mobility in biological systems</STRONG><br />

<pre>A PhD position is available in the Biocomputing Group at the Free University
in Berlin, Germany, starting at the earliest convenience. The successful
candidate is expected to work on development and applications of Ab Initio
Molecular Dynamics techniques. Building on successful simulations of
structure (<a href="http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/burkhard/Abstracts/52.html" target="_blank">http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/burkhard/Abstracts/52.html</a>) and
reaction dynamics (<a href="http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/burkhard/Abstracts/54.html" target="_blank">http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/burkhard/Abstracts/54.html</a>)
of solvated electrons, the project shall be extended toward the
investigation of charge mobility in systems of biological relevance.

The project benefits from on-going collaboration with the molecular
modelling group of Prof. Pavel Jungwirth in Prague (Czech Republic), a
leading scientists in Molecular Dynamics simulations of solvated particles,
and with Dr. Joost VandeVondele at Zrich University, a key developer of the
software package CP2K (<a href="http://cp2k.berlios.de" target="_blank">http://cp2k.berlios.de</a>), which is currently being
used in our Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics simulations.

Minimum requirements for the position are an above-average degree in
physics, chemistry, or a related field, a basic knowledge of Linux operating
systems and good written and oral communication skills in English.
Experience in one or more of the following fields are advantageous:
knowledge of one or more programming languages (C/C++, Fortran, Java etc.),
experience with Molecular Dynamics/Quantum Chemistry calculations. Previous
knowledge of German language is not required.</pre>
