Experience with MD simulation is required, and preferably also with free energy sampling techniques such as umbrella sampling, replica exchange, and metadynamics. > > The second postdoc position will involve the development of CG simulation software in the LAMMPS MD code environment. Significant experience with MD simulation as well as the programming related to it is required. > > Please ask any interested student in your group to contact me by email. > > Best wishes, > Greg > > _____________________________________________________________________ > > Gregory A.
