Subject: 09.12.01 Computational Drug Discovery and Molecular Dynamics Position
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the research group of Dr. Fred Salsbury (http://bob.olin.wfu.edu/~web) at Wake Forest University. The focus of this position will be on the design and development of chemotherapeutics using computational methods; chiefly with molecular dynamics, and structure-based drug design tools. Two major projects in the Salsbury group aim at developing chemotherapeutics that act through either the induction of apoptosis, or preventing the shut-down of apoptosis. Computationally, these projects involve molecular dynamics simulations, the statistical analysis of simulation data, virtual screening and refinement of potential therapeutics. These projects are multi-disciplinary and involve collaborations with synthetic chemists and cancer biologists, who synthesize the candidate molecules and test the computational predictions. The Salsbury group uses computational tools, primarily those of molecular biophysics, to solve biological, health-related problems. Questions about the position, and applications, should be directed to salsbufr(~)wfu.edu. Applications should include a statement of interests, a curriculum vitae, and three letters of reference.NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
