PhD position in Biophysics (Emmy Noether Group) 881 views

Germany: Max Planck Institute (MPI) PhD Europe, Germany Physics

The Department of Theoretical Biophysics at Max Planck Institute of Biophysics (Director Gerhard Hummer) is inviting applications for an open PhD position “Regulating RNA by Cations: Insights from Molecular Dynamics Simulations”within the Emmy Noether Research Group (Dr. Nadine Schwierz-Neumann).

About the project:
  • The work focuses on the theoretical description of the interaction between RNA and metal cations using computer simulations and methods from statistical physics. Positively charged cations are essential for the stability and function of RNA.
  • In particular, changes in the local salt concentration or the type of cations present in solution immediately influence RNA regulatory elements and their regulatory functions.

Start date: June 1st 2019

Requirements

  • Candidates with background in statistical and soft matter physics and expertise in methods such as all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, high performance computing, advanced sampling techniques, and programming are highly encouraged to apply.

Applications:

  • Review of applications will start immediately and continue until the position is filled.
  • Application must include CV, cover letter, and the names of at least one referee as a single pdf-file and to be sent via email to Nadine.Schwierz@biophys.mpg.de
