I’m currently looking for postdocs who share my passion for understanding the physical mechanisms of protein conformational changes, their role in signaling, and how they are modulated by drugs and mutations. We are currently working to understand and combat the evolution of antibiotic resistance, to understand the phototransduction signaling cascade and the effects of mutations associated with blinding diseases, and to develop new methods for extending the timescales accessible to molecular simulation. Connecting with experiment is a high priority, so much so that we’ll be conducting our own biophysical experiments to test predictions. There is certainly no requirement that everyone do experiments though. We’re located at the medical school at Washington University in St Louis. For those who think this if fly-over territory, I highly recommend you take another look. Forest Park offers amazing science, art, and history museums as well as a zoo and concerts (all of which are free!). We also have an outstanding food scene and the cost of living is a welcome change from other metropolitan areas. Interested candidates should contact me via email at bowman(a)biochem.wustl.edu<mailto:bowman@biochem.wustl.edu> and include their CV and a brief (one page or less) description of a project they might like to pursue in my lab. This research description is meant to give me a sense of your interests and the way you think, it is not a binding commitment to a specific project. Thanks for your time. Greg — Gregory R.

[Compbio-allhands] Immediately available: Postdoctoral positions in Theoretical and Computational Biophysics
by David Sivak 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Dear friends and colleagues, This fall I start my own research group in the Physics Department at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada!). In the near future, I hope to hire two exceptional, highly-motivated postdoctoral fellows to work on theoretical and computational biophysics. (I’m also on the lookout for talented undergraduates considering graduate study in biophysics.) Please forward this announcement to any interested parties. My group combines approaches from physics, information theory, and statistics to study the fundamental principles of biomolecular function under strong fluctuations. One postdoctoral position focuses on the design principles for efficient transduction of energy and information in molecular machines; the other opening is for the development of model comparison methods to interpret structural biology experiments, especially X-ray crystallography. Within these broad research thrusts there is ample freedom to pursue particular areas of personal scientific interest. Our theoretical flights of fancy are tethered to reality through close collaborations with experimentalists at SFU, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco. Postdoctoral fellows in my group will work in the intellectually-stimulating and interactive biophysics community within SFU Physics, with close ties to the Chemistry and Molecular Biology/Biochemistry departments, and frequent scientific exchange with allied departments at the University of British Columbia. In my own (possibly biased) opinion, the endless all-season outdoors opportunities, mind-blowing food from all ethnicities, and mild weather make Vancouver an enviable place to call home; slightly more objectively, it makes every official top 5 list of most livable cities in the world. The ideal candidate would have experience with computer programming, biomolecular modeling and statistical mechanics, and a PhD in a relevant field (broadly construed: physics, biophysics, chemistry, bio- or chemical-engineering, molecular biology, or relevant areas of statistics, computer science, applied math, etc). But most important is intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm for research in this area, and an excellent track record in whatever field they have pursued. Interested candidates should send me a cover letter and CV (including publication list and contact information for 2-3 references). Further information is available at: http://www.sfu.ca/physics/sivakgroup/ Thank you in advance!
