PhD Positions in Computational Biophysical and Materials Chemistry
Applications are invited for PhD studies focused on theoretical and computational modeling of biomolecular complexes and novel hybrid nanoscale systems, operated by chemical, physical and biological principles. The candidates will be funded and will learn how to use a variety of theoretical and computational methodologies, including classical molecular dynamics simulations and quantum calculations, as well as contribute to development of new parameterization schemes and enhanced sampling techniques.
They will be able to write their own codes in various programming languages, and acquire many other skills. We are seeking creative and highly motivated individuals. Background in chemistry, physics or biology, and preliminary knowledge of theoretical methods used in these fields is very welcome.
The research will be conducted in the group of Prof. Lela Vukovic in the Chemistry Department at the University of Texas at El Paso (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/~lvukov1/NEW/ ). Collaboration with other experimental and theoretical groups is essential in our research. The University of Texas at El Paso is an emerging national research university, with a new chemistry building and a campus that continues growing. El Paso is a large city with many opportunities for cultural, sports and outdoors events.
How to Apply: Interested candidates should e-mail (as soon as possible) their CV and the names and contact information of several references to: [email protected]
Formal applicants for graduate studies will also need to submit GRE (general) and TOEFL scores. The cumulative GPA of candidates should be at least 3.0 (out of 4.0).
