[Compbio-allhands] Immediately available: Postdoctoral position in information thermodynamics
by David Sivak 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

We seek to hire a postdoctoral fellow to develop theory to support the design, analysis, and interpretation of experiments probing the fundamentals of information-to-energy conversion out of equilibrium. The position will be co-supervised by Profs. John Bechhoefer (experiment) and David Sivak and Susanne Still (both theory). The primary location is the Physics department at Simon Fraser University (in Vancouver, BC), but there will also be extended visits to Prof. Still at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa. This position is a unique opportunity to collaborate with leading groups of experimentalists and theorists to help realize and then analyze the performance of information-based machines, with implications for the understanding and engineering of both biological and computational systems. The general goal is to explore the constraints that determine the performance of information-fueled machines under “real world” conditions. Such constraints include the need to perform tasks in a finite time, to gather the “right kind” of information, and to deal with the complexities of systems with many degrees of freedom. In short: the goal is to bring Maxwell’s demon into the real world! The ideal candidate would have experience with statistical mechanics and information theory, and a PhD in a relevant field (broadly construed: physics, or relevant areas of chemistry, applied math, engineering, statistics, computer science, etc). But most important is intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm for research in this area, and an excellent track record in previous projects. 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. You may already think highly of Hawaii. Initial appointment is for 1 year; extension to 2 years or longer is possible, based on mutual agreement. Interested candidates should send a cover letter and CV (including publication list and contact information for 2-3 references) to johnb(a)sfu.ca. Further information about our research groups is available at: http://www.sfu.ca/chaos/ http://www.davidsivak.com/ http://www2.hawaii.edu/~sstill/ We are committed to ensuring that no individual is denied access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or qualifications. Consistent with this principle, we will advance the interests of underrepresented members of the work force, specifically Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, and women; embrace gender and sexual diversity; ensure that equal opportunity is afforded to all who seek to join our group; and treat all group members equitably.

The topic of the research relates to the development of computational methods to support novel cancer therapies and, in particular, personalized cancer immunotherapies. > > Developing effective cancer treatments remains one of the most important challenges for healthcare, and T-cell based immunotherapy has provided some very positive recent advances in cancer treatment. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can circulate through the body and are capable of identifying and eliminating tumorigenic cells. The recognition of tumor depends on the specific interaction between the T-cell receptor of CTLs, and class I Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) receptors. HLA receptors bind peptides derived from intracellular proteins, and display them at the cell surface. These peptide-HLA complexes are present at the surface of virtually all nucleated cells, constituting an efficient surveillance mechanism by which the immune system can recognize aberrant changes within cells of the body. Although CTL surveillance likely evolved to eliminate virally-infected cells, this system now provides very promising opportunities for cancer treatment and specifically the development of immune-based therapies. The understanding of peptide-HLA interactions at scale presents a formidable problem and computational analysis has a huge role to play. The overall goal of our research is to develop novel algorithmic methodologies for the modeling and analysis of peptide-HLAs, and its recognition by CTLs, implementing these methodologies in toolkits that can be used by immunologists. Most of our research deals with structural methods but we do complement our analyses with sequence methods. > > The individual recruited to fill this position will be working closely with collaborators at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and other researchers at the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world. > > BACKGROUND: Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biomedical Informatics, or a related field. Prior knowledge of immunology is not required, but it is desirable. Familiarity with bioinformatics databases and tools is also desirable. Applicants with Ph.D.s in the Biological Sciences will be considered if they have expertise in immunology and good computational skills. They must be willing to train in computer science. This position is particularly suited for candidates who want to follow a career in academia; the position can include formal training for obtaining and succeeding in an academic position, if the candidate desires so. > > DURATION: Postdoctoral fellows are eligible for up to two years of support. All re-appointments are dependent upon a satisfactory progress review and continued funding. > > ABOUT RICE UNIVERSITY: As a leading research university with a distinctive commitment to undergraduate education, Rice University (http://www.rice.edu <http://www.rice.edu/>) aspires to path breaking research, unsurpassed teaching, and contributions to the betterment of our world. It seeks to fulfill this mission by cultivating a diverse community of learning and discovery that produces leaders across the spectrum of human endeavor. Rice University, an equal opportunity employer and a Tier 1 Research University, is located in the vibrant urban setting of Houston, TX, the fourth largest city in the U.S. Rice is ranked No. 15 by Forbes, among the top research universities, and No. 16 on their list of 50 Best U.S. colleges for international students. > > ABOUT THE LAB: The Kavraki Lab (http://www.kavrakilab.org <http://www.kavrakilab.org/>) develops computational methods and tools to model protein structure and function, understand biomolecular interactions, aid the process of medicinal drug discovery, analyze the molecular machinery of the cell, and help integrate biological and biomedical data for improving human health.

I am writing to ask your help in recruiting. I have 2 openings in my group at NIBR-Emeryville (CA), one junior and one senior position. We are building up a department in Emeryville around our core expertise involving protein science, structure & biophysics, computational & medicinal chemistry. Our drug discovery focus will be on “targets in context”. The context for the targets includes other partner entities as well as the context of time (dynamics and kinetics). From a computational chemistry perspective, this means a focus on simulating large(r) multi-component complexes with the aim to understand mechanism and opportunity to modulate, including the design of novel therapeutics. From a computational medicinal chemistry perspective, a strategic focus will be on effective exploration of chemical space. This includes using multi-objective optimization combined with exceptional predictive modeling tools, generative chemistry, recommenders, and effective design cycles. I would very much appreciate your recommendations of potential candidates who have a passion for discovering drug candidates and who have skills in the area of macromolecular modeling & simulations and/or machine learning & data science. Experience in experimental structure & biophysics work or experimental medicinal chemistry would be an advantage (but not a requirement).

Please register to reserve your spot! (free) https://www.eventbrite.com/e/schrodinger-workshop-at-uc-san-francisco-regis… Morning Session: Life-Sciences Molecular Dynamics Time: 9:30am - 12:00pm Description: This workshop is designed to enable users to run protein molecular dynamics simulations effectively using best practices. We cover basic workflows which include how to build systems appropriate for MD, running MD, basic and advanced trajectory analysis tools, and the architecture and configuration of Desmond input and output files. Finally, we will consider the use of binding-pose metadynamics as an approach for improved pose prediction within the context of a protein-ligand complex. Familiarity with Maestro is recommended. More details on MD can be found at: https://www.schrodinger.com/desmond Afternoon Session: Compound Library Preparation and Ligand-based Virtual Screening Time: 1:00pm - 3:30pm Description: This half-day workshop will cover two interrelated toolsets in computer-aided drug design that rely on the use of chemical descriptors to shape and screen compound libraries. The first part of the workshop will cover compound library design and preparation for virtual screening. During the session, we will discuss the selection and enumeration of virtual compound libraries followed by the shaping and preparation of those libraries for virtual screening. Hands-on tutorials with Schrödinger’s enumeration and filtering tools will be provided. The second part of the workshop will be an introduction to pharmacophore-based virtual screening with Schrödinger’s Phase. More details on Phase can be found at: https://www.schrodinger.com/phase John Irwin UCSF Pharmaceutical Chemistry http://irwinlab.compbio.ucsf.edu

We are looking for John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows in the life sciences, who will be appointed for an initial three years and will form a small community of exciting young scientists both by interacting with each other and with their counterparts in the life sciences. If you're a physical scientist, you're getting this email because you might have run into someone in the life sciences who seems appropriate for this fellowship or know colleagues in the life sciences who you could pass this request on to. Briefly, i) we are looking for extremely bright and creative young scientists from across the full breadth of the life sciences, including those with training in theory and computation, ii) we will give the successful applicant the space, facilities,and money to run a three-person research group for five years, iii) each Fellow will have a formal affiliation with and participate in the intellectual life of one of the life science departments, iv) the Fellow will teaching responsibilities byparticipating in the research laboratories of a new Integrated Science course (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/ls50) v) the Fellow will be intensely mentored by participating in a weekly communal lab meeting, meeting me monthly, having their paper drafts and grant applications read and critiqued, and meeting with a three person mentoring committee twice a year, and vi) the new Fellows will be located in the Northwest Building next to the John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram) If you know anyone fabulous, please tell them to apply, and, if you've time, please let us know that you have. Details on how to apply are at:*http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/8627* The application deadline is* 11:59pm EST, on Thursday, February 28, 2019*. Many, many thanks, Andrew *Information about the Fellows Program* The John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellow’s program is an initiative in Faculty of Arts and Sciences to recruit bright young scientists to work as independent researchers at Harvard. There are separate searches for Fellows in the physical and life sciences, but the Fellows appointed by these searches form a single intellectual community. The life science Fellows are young, independent researchers usually straight out of their PhD who are appointed initially for three years, and carries an expectation of extension by a further two years. Each fellow has the support of a mentoring committee comprising of three faculty who are interested in the fellow's area of research. As fellows move on to faculty positions, we replace them with new fellows; this year we are looking to hire one new fellow. Because we strongly believe that solving exciting problems will require combining different approaches, we are particularly interested in recruiting fellows with broad scientific interests and a taste for collaboration. We strongly encourage applications from women and minority candidates. A description of the Fellow program, and information about the application procedure, is available on our website at: */https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram/* ** *ANDREW MURRAY* 617-496-1350 MCB, HARVARD UNIVERSITY 52 OXFORD STREET, NW 469.20 awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu CAMBRIDGE, MA 02138 *Lab Administrator*: Linda Kefalas (lkefalas(a)mcb.harvard.edu, 617-496-1350) *Lab*: 617-496-1384 or 617-496-1489 *Lab website*: https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/directory/andrew-murray/ *John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows website*: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram <https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram.>

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Looking For Fellows Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2018 13:27:55 +0000 From: Murray, Andrew <awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu> To: Murray, Andrew <awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu> CC: Kefalas, Linda <lkefalas(a)mcb.harvard.edu> Dear Friends, Humblest apologies for the mass emailing and please let us know if you'd prefer not to receive these emails in the future. We are looking for John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows in the physical sciences, who will be appointed for three years and will form a small community of exciting young scientists both by interacting with each other and with their counterparts in the life sciences. If you're a life scientist, you're getting this email because you might have run into someone in the physical sciences who seems appropriate for this fellowship or know colleagues in the physical science who you could pass this request on to. Briefly, i) we are looking for bright and creative young scientists from across the full breadth of the physical sciences, including both theory and experiment, ii) we will give the successful applicant space for their research, principal investigator rights, and can provide some start up funding for experimentalists iii) each Fellow will have a formal affiliation with and participate in the intellectual life of one of the physical science departments, iv) the Fellows will be encouraged, but not obligated, to teach in small classes in areas that they find exciting, and v) the Fellow will be intensely mentored by participating in a weekly communal lab meeting, meeting monthly with the director of the fellows program, having their paper drafts and grant applications read and critiqued, and meeting with a three person mentoring committee twice a year. Our goal is to give the Fellows the time, space, and mentorship to do original and exciting science with a level of independence that is closer to that of a faculty member than that of a postdoc.

Many, many thanks, Andrew *Information about the Fellows Program* The John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellow’s program is an initiative in Faculty of Arts and Sciences to recruit bright young scientists to work as independent researchers at Harvard. There are separate searches for Fellows in the physical and life sciences, but the Fellows appointed by these searches form a single intellectual community. The physical science Fellows are young, independent researchers usually straight out of their PhD who are appointed for three years. Each fellow has the support of a mentoring committee comprising of three faculty who are interested in the fellow's area of research. As fellows move on to faculty positions, we replace them with new fellows; this year we are looking to hire one or two new fellows. Because we strongly believe that solving exciting problems will require combining different approaches, we are particularly interested in recruiting fellows with broad scientific interests and a taste for collaboration. We strongly encourage applications from women and minority candidates. A description of the Fellows program, and information about the application procedure, is available on our website at*/https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram/* ** *ANDREW MURRAY* 617-496-1350 MCB, HARVARD UNIVERSITY 52 OXFORD STREET, NW 469.20 awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu CAMBRIDGE, MA 02138 *Lab Administrator*: Linda Kefalas (lkefalas(a)mcb.harvard.edu, 617-496-1350) *Lab Manager*: Beverly Neugeboren (bneugeb(a)mcb.harvard.edu, 617-496-1384 or 617-496-1489) *Lab website*: https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/directory/andrew-murray/ *John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows website*: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram

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

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.

[Compbio-allhands] Fwd: Hello Tom from Wayne in Chicago
by Tom Ferrin 04 May '18

04 May '18

LanzaTech is recruiting for a Computational Biologist Modeler... -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Hello Tom from Wayne in Chicago Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 14:33:26 +0000 From: Wayne Mitchell <Wayne.Mitchell(a)lanzatech.com> To: tef(a)cgl.ucsf.edu <tef(a)cgl.ucsf.edu> Tom, we are expanding the Computational Biology team, and I thought you might know of strong candidates. We are a modest group of five (3 PhDs, 1 double Masters, 1 BS), doing wide-rangeing computational biology in support of Lanzatech’s microbial technology platform, in particular the synthetic biology, strain development and fermentation teams. Our organism is aenerobic, acetogenic and gas fermenting. The biology is somewhat esoteric but always interesting. We do bacterial evolution and population biology in the context of continuous fermentation, RNAseq, proteomics, and metabolics in pursuit of systems biology insights, extensive annotation and bioinformatics analysis of genomes of interest, software application development, more “hard core” information science stuff (database design and implementation, etc), and genome scale mathematical modeling of metabolism. In addition we have a growing focus on statistical computing (AI and machine learning) Specifically, we are expanding our modelling efforts and are actively recruiting a second fulltime genome scale metabolic modeller. I include the job posting (below), Applications can be lodged at http://www.lanzatech.com/careers/ Feel free to foward this if you think it will be of interest to your network, ( We are also recruiting for a full stack web developer with scientiic visualization experience/ aspirations — just in case you know of one). Thank you If you are going to be at ISMB this summer, lets grab a beer and lunch/ dinner. warmest regards, Wayne Wayne Mitchell, PhD. Director, Computational Biology Lanzatech Computational Biologist Modeler LanzaTech Inc. - Skokie, IL - Full Time _*About LanzaTech*_ LanzaTech is turning our global carbon crisis into a feedstock opportunity with the potential to displace 30% of crude oil use today and reduce global CO2 emissions by 10%. LanzaTech’s carbon recycling technology is like retrofitting a brewery onto an emission source like a steel mill, but instead of using sugars and yeast to make beer, bacteria convert pollution to products! Imagine a day when you can power a plane by recycled carbon emissions, when your yoga pants or sneakers started life as pollution from a steel mill. This future is possible using LanzaTech technology with the first 2 commercial units converting steel mill waste gases to fuels being built; in China with Shougang and in Belgium with the world’s largest steel maker, ArcelorMittal. LanzaTech has an additional 3 commercial projects in the pipeline, in India, South Africa and California. LanzaTech has already produced synthetic jet fuel from recycled carbon emissions and has a partnership with Virgin Atlantic. In 2017, LanzaTech was recognized as the #1 Hottest company in the Advanced Bioeconomy by Biofuels Digest, the world’s most widely-read bioeconomy daily. The company was also inaugurated into the Cleantech100 Hall of Fame, having been listed in the top 100 cleantech companies over the last 7 years. In 2016, the company won the Young Global Leader Award for Circular Economy at the World Economic Forum, LanzaTech was also the top biofuels company in the 2016 CNBC Disruptor 50 Companies list. In 2015, LanzaTech was awarded the U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Award for Greener Synthetic Pathways. The company’s accomplishments were recognized through a number of prestigious awards in 2014, including the Guardian Sustainable Business Innovation Award for Carbon and Energy Management, Breakthrough Innovation Award at the Platts Global Metals Awards, and the Technical Development Award from the World Petroleum Council. In 2013, the company was named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer. _*About the role*_ LanzaTech has developed extensive metabolic modeling capability around our novel gas fermentation platform.

Living Cells <http://www.cplc.illinois.edu/>" (CPLC), a National Science Foundation Physics Frontier Center at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Fellowships are available starting May 2018, and will normally last a minimum of two years. > > Research in the Center falls in four themes: > (1) Single-molecule biophysics at the molecular-cellular interface; > (2) Maximizing information content of single cell experiments; > (3) Collective dynamics: from cell-cell interaction to multicellular organisms; > (4) Increasing biological realism in theory and computation. > > Fellows will use state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical biophysical tools to accomplish these goals: optical tweezers, single-molecule and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, fabrication of synthetic nanostructures, live cell imaging, chemical biology, experimental evolution and microbial ecology, statistical cancer genomics, high-throughput assay development, classical and quantum mechanical molecular simulations, stochastic modeling, whole cell simulations, as well as the standard methods of molecular and cellular biology and genetics. Research will involve both the development and improvement of experimental and computational techniques and the application of these techniques to particular biological processes such as replication, transcription, translation, cell transport, cellular mechanics signaling, motility, microbial communities and evolutionary dynamics. As projects are collaborative endeavors between several labs, the Fellows will have the opportunity to be jointly advised by two or more faculty members of the Center. > > Fellows will also be expected to participate in education and outreach activities of the Center. Candidates for this postdoctoral position must have a Ph.D. in the physical sciences, life science, or related disciplines, and must be highly qualified in one of the experimental or theoretical areas. Excellent oral- and written-communication skills are required for this position. The University of Illinois is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, and welcomes applications from minority and women candidates. > > Applications for this position (and other positions available in the Physics Department) may be submitted electronically via LINK HERE <https://my.physics.illinois.edu/submit/go.asp?id=1210>, and should arrive no later than February 1, 2018. Applications received after the deadline may not be considered. These applications should include, in PDF format: > (1) A cover letter > (2) A curriculum vitae > (3) A research statement not exceeding three pages, summarizing your past and ongoing research, > (4) A publications list, including papers and preprints with their URLs. For any papers or preprints that are not readily available via the internet, applicants may wish to upload electronic copies via the "supporting document" channel. > > Please post and circulate the attached announcement or if interested, apply accordingly. > > For more information about CPLC, please visit http://cplc.illinois.edu <http://cplc.illinois.edu/>. > > Thank you. > > Yann Chemla and Zaida Luthey-Schulten > Co-directors, Center for the Physics of Living Cells > <>director(a)cplc.illinois.edu <mailto:director@cplc.illinois.edu> > http://cplc.illinois.edu <http://cplc.illinois.edu/> > University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign > 1110 West Green Street, MC 704 > Urbana, IL 61801-3080, USA

- Matt Dear Professors: This is a letter from iHuman Institute of ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China. Now we are seeking candidates for our Faculty and Postdoc Positions, who focus on computational biology, especially Whole Cell Modeling. It's an honor for us if you can recommend highly motivated and outstanding international candidates. You can get more details from the attached file. About iHuman: iHuman Institute is a new international effort established as a research institute located on the campus of ShanghaiTech University. The institute is a gateway to the world of Shanghai life science research. What makes iHuman Institute special is that it is focused exclusively on the basic and applied science of human cell signaling, integrating multiple tools for scientific discovery, and bringing together leading researchers throughout the world. Cell surface receptors and their related intracellular proteins are responsible for human cellular communications with each other and their environment, and are involved in a wide range of physiological activities. Such a central role in human biology makes cell signaling the target for intervention for tuning physiological responses and fighting numerous conditions and diseases. These proteins are central to understanding the evolution of mankind and human cognition at a molecular level. Please let us know if you have any questions, also you can contact us by replying the E-mail directly.

[Compbio-allhands] informal seminar announcement
by Tom Ferrin 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Please let students and other researchers in your lab know about the following informal seminar. Tristan has created a nice plug-in tool for our ChimeraX software that he'll talk about. * Tristan Croll * * PhD Student *Cambridge University * * *Friday, March 24* *2 - 3pm* *Genentech Hall S-203* *Title:* ISOLDE: a next-generation model-building environment for challenging molecular structures *Abstract:* Given an experimental dataset of sufficiently high resolution, modern model-building and refinement software can often build high-quality, near-complete models almost entirely automatically. However, as resolution degrades to the point where individual atoms are no longer resolved, the task becomes substantially more challenging and dependent upon user intervention. Current standards at these resolutions remain quite poor, with structures regularly deposited to the Protein Data Bank with outlier rates 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than expected of high resolution structures. ISOLDE is a set of tools which applies interactive molecular dynamics to significantly improve the ease and fidelity of model-building into such data, in essence by making the task feel similar to interacting with a real, physical molecule. In this seminar I will give a preview of the ISOLDE package and workflow, with examples from both EM and crystallographic structures.
