Fellowships are available starting May 2016, 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 and genomic biology tools, 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, and motility. 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.

22 Sep '15

- Matt Begin forwarded message: From: Justin MacCallum <justin.maccallum(a)ucalgary.ca<mailto:justin.maccallum@ucalgary.ca>> Subject: postdoctoral position in the MacCallum lab at the University of Calgary Date: September 22, 2015 at 4:51:50 PM PDT To: Justin MacCallum <justin.maccallum(a)ucalgary.ca<mailto:justin.maccallum@ucalgary.ca>> Dear Colleague, I have a postdoctoral position available in my lab at the University of Calgary (www.maccallumlab.org<http://www.maccallumlab.org/>). The details are below. I would appreciate your help in filling this position, so please pass this message along to any suitable candidates. Thank you for your time. Regards, Justin Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Calgary I am recruiting a talented, motivated postdoc to join my lab at the University of Calgary. Candidates should have a strong computational background and will work at the interface between computational modeling, biophysics, and structural biology. Research in this position will focus on the design of molecular interactions, specifically the development of protein-based sensors for small molecules, including drugs, toxins, and metabolites. We will use a combination of computational tools, including Rosetta, molecular dynamics simulations, and free energy calculations to design binding proteins and to understand the driving forces behind binding. The most promising designs will then be validated and characterized experimentally. For this position, I am looking for someone with a strong background in computational chemistry, biophysics, structural biology, or a related field. Experience with free energy calculations, umbrella sampling, Rosetta, or related tools is a strong asset. Depending on the interests of the applicant, there could also be an opportunity to gain wet lab experience, but this is not required. The University of Calgary is one of Canada’s top research institutions. Calgary routinely ranks as one of the most livable cities in the world and is only an hour from the Canadian Rockies—one of the world’s most spectacular outdoor playgrounds. The stipend is $50,000/year for two years, plus benefits. The start date is negotiable, but must be no later than spring 2016. To apply, please send a CV and a brief (4–5 sentences maximum) statement of interest to justin.maccallum(a)ucalgary.ca<mailto:justin.maccallum@ucalgary.ca>. I will begin reviewing applications immediately. -- Justin MacCallum - Assistant Professor Canada Research Chair in Biomolecular Structure and Design Department of Chemistry University of Calgary justin.maccallum(a)ucalgary.ca<mailto:justin.maccallum@ucalgary.ca> http://maccallumlab.org<http://maccallumlab.org/>

The nominees should be individuals with outstanding talent and accomplishment who are eager to broaden their scientific horizons. We particularly encourage nominations of qualified candidates who are women or members of other groups that are underrepresented in the theoretical sciences. Fellows receive a three-year appointment in the Center fully supported by Center funds, an office in the Center facility, and have full freedom to develop their scientific interests with the support and mentoring of the senior Faculty Fellows. It is our intention that the Center experience will have a profound impact on the scientific development and future careers of the Fellows. > > The deadline for receipt of the Postdoctoral nomination, reference letters, and supporting materials from the candidate is October 15, 2015 so it is important for you to submit your nomination as soon as possible to give your candidate and their references time to complete their parts. > > The nomination process is very simple: go to our website > http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts <http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts> > > and submit the candidate’s name, email address, and a nomination letter.
