Several research positions (postdoc, research assistant, PhD student) are
available in the Hirao group at the School of Life and Health Sciences and
the Warshel Institute for Computational Biology, The Chinese University of
Hong Kong, Shenzhen. 

We are interested in the development and application of computational chemistry
and computational biology methods for studying chemical reactions and molecular
interactions, especially those related to enzyme catalysis, drug design,
bioinorganic chemistry, synthetic catalysts, and porous materials. Computational
chemistry methods such as DFT, ab initio quantum chemistry, molecular mechanics,
MD, QM/MM, and docking will be applied or developed, while integrating these
methods with machine learning and other techniques. 

The ideal candidate for the positions will have experience, expertise, and solid
knowledge in some of the following areas:
- computational chemistry
- computational biology
- machine learning
- electronic structure theory
- free energy calculations
- programming/scripting
- method development

Enthusiastic researchers/students from diverse backgrounds (computational chemistry,
computational biology, theoretical chemistry, physics, computer science, etc.) are
welcome to apply. Interested applicants may send a cover letter (explaining at least
research interest, skills/experience, and the earliest possible start date) and CV
by e-mail to Prof. Hajime Hirao (hirao++cuhk.edu.cn).
