Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Chemistry 1119 views

Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems is inviting applications for a postdoctoral researcher. The position is available in research group ‘Molecular Simulations and Design’ headed by Dr Matthias Stein, working on structure-based multiscale simulations in chemistry and biology.

About the position:

• The selected Postdoc Researcher (m/f/d) will perform QM/MM simulations of enzymatic systems with a focus on spectroscopic observables.
• In close collaboration with experimental partners, advanced computational methods will be used to elucidate enzymatic reaction mechanisms by computing spectroscopic features to elucidate reaction intermediates.
• The position is for a period of one year (starting on 1st January 2020).

Requirements:

• Applications are open to candidates with a doctorate in Computational/Theoretical Chemistry or Physics
• Experience with QM/MM calculations and/or biophysical simulations techniques
• Experience in programming (C/C++) and methods development is highly advantageous.
• Successful candidates should be  highly  motivated,  have  excellent  interpersonal  and  communication  skills,  be  able  to  work  independently,  and  favor  interdisciplinary  communication  across  disciplines  and  creative

Applications:

Application to be sent as a single pdf file to Matthias.stein@mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de including:

• CV
• List of publications
• Contact details of three potential academic referees
