Ron is a very good scientist Begin forwarded message: From: Ron Dror <rondror(a)stanford.edu<mailto:rondror@stanford.edu>> Subject: move to Stanford Date: July 31, 2014 10:47:07 AM PDT Dear friends and colleagues, After more than eleven years, I left D. E. Shaw Research in March to take a faculty position at Stanford. I'm continuing to work on biomolecular simulation and also exploring some new research directions (with a focus on computational biology, though certain projects may include an experimental component). I hope to hire a couple postdocs in the coming months, so if you know of anyone promising -- particularly with a biomolecular modeling or simulation background -- please send them my way. I've included my new contact information below. Best, Ron -- Ron Dror Associate Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, Molecular and Cellular Physiology http://cs.stanford.edu/people/rondror/ E-mail: ron.dror(a)stanford.edu Phone: 650-497-8586 Mailing address: Gates Building 353 Serra Mall Stanford, CA 94305-9025 I'm scheduled to move into a different building (the Bio-X Clark Center) in a few months, so my mailing address will change, but the e-mail and phone above should still work.

Jacobson Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases Director, Graduate Group in Biophysics UCSF MC 2540 1700 4th St., Byers Hall, Room 408E San Francisco, CA 94158-2330 matt.jacobson(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu> jacobsonlab.org<http://jacobsonlab.org>
