[Compbio-allhands] Fwd: Hiring a postdoc in the Shirts Research Group at CU Boulder
by Jacobson, Matt 27 Aug '18

— Matt Begin forwarded message: From: Michael R Shirts <Michael.Shirts(a)Colorado.EDU<mailto:Michael.Shirts@Colorado.EDU>> Subject: Hiring a postdoc in the Shirts Research Group at CU Boulder Date: August 23, 2018 at 3:06:01 PM PDT To: Michael R Shirts <Michael.Shirts(a)Colorado.EDU<mailto:Michael.Shirts@Colorado.EDU>> Hello, colleagues- I am still in the process of hiring a postdoctoral researcher to do fundamental theoretical and computational work towards understanding and designing secondary structure in general non-peptidic oligomers. I think this is an exciting project (it's probably the new direction I'm most interested in in my group!) with lots of potential directions that someone could take in independent research projects afterwards. I am open to people who might be graduating/finishing later this the fall; there may be some additional candidates who were not ready this summer when I first announced the search who might be interested now. I would love if you could pass this on to any students/former students/junior researchers you think might be good candidates. The job description and direct link to apply is below. I'm happy to answer any questions that anyone you may refer might have. Note: the CU application requires a letter of recommendation, but that does not need to be uploaded initially; that can be uploaded as a confidential letter of recommendation later in the process by me. The job number is #13828 at https://cu.taleo.net/careersection/2/moresearch.ftl. Direct Link is: https://cu.taleo.net/careersection/2/jobdetail.ftl?job=13828&lang=en&sns_id… Job Description: The Shirts research group in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at University of Colorado Boulder is hiring a research associate to help develop guidelines, based on fundamental physical principles, by which short nonbiological heteropolymers with sequence specificity can fold into secondary structure elements. The candidate will also study what governs the relative stability between these allowed secondary structural elements. Initial studies will pave the way for more extensive and realistic modeling of the proposed heteropolymers, working with our experimental collaborators. The research effort is intended to build towards tools for designing human-engineered foldameric materials with a much larger range of properties and functions than occur in naturally occurring biological heteropolymers such as proteins. This position requires a Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, physics or a related field, and exceptionally strong skills in statistical mechanics and molecular simulation. Other potential (but not required) qualifications of interest include Python expertise and experience with protein design algorithms. Competitive candidates will have a track record of scientific success in graduate study, creative and innovative thinking, experience working on teams, excellent writing skills, and a strong publication record. Best, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael Shirts Associate Professor michael.shirts(a)colorado.edu<mailto:michael.shirts@colorado.edu> http://www.colorado.edu/lab/shirtsgroup/ Phone: (303) 735-7860 Office: JSCBB C123 Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering University of Colorado Boulder
