[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. Thus, candidates who belong to underrepresented groups in Physics are particularly welcome to apply. Please forward this announcement to any interested parties. Thank you in advance! -- David Sivak Asst.

We have a number of very exciting projects that are just starting up, and I would love to have a postdoc who is interested in developing new computational methods for cryo-EM image analysis and structure interpretation. If you have any graduating students who are looking for the next step, I would be honored to consider someone coming from your lab. > > If you could be so kind as to pass along this information to anyone who might be looking for a postdoc and might be a good fit for my lab, I would very much appreciate it. > > > Best wishes, > > Elizabeth (Liz) Kellogg > > Elizabeth H.

Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Jeremy England <jlengland(a)gmail.com> > Date: October 8, 2019 at 12:51:59 AM EDT > To: Andrej Sali <sali(a)salilab.org> > Subject: gsk > > > Dear Andrej > > I wanted to let you know that I recently took a job at GSK, the pharma company. It turns out they have a big new multi-site AI/ML effort underway and want me to form and lead a group in Cambridge, MA, so I am going to direct my modeling of dynamical systems towards some very interesting new problems. I am thrilled at the opportunity and have been really enjoying this new chapter so far. > > Aside from letting you know what's up, I also just wanted to mention that I am hiring, and so am looking widely for excellent candidates at the masters level or above who combine experience from some of (but not necessarily all of) biology, statistical physics, and machine learning. The work is going to be in a quasi-academic atmosphere, at the intersection of AI, systems biology, and self-organization in many-body dynamical systems. If anyone you know would be a good fit and wants to learn more, please tell them to contact me at jeremy.l.england(a)gsk.com > > Jeremy

[Compbio-allhands] annual meeting of the Association of Molecular Modellers of Australasia, MM2019
by Andrej Sali 30 Sep '19

30 Sep '19

fyi -- Dear colleagues, The early-bird registration has been extended until 15th October for the annual meeting of the Association of Molecular Modellers of Australasia, MM2019. To avoid disappointment, please do register and submit your abstract as soon as possible! MM2019 will be held during December 5th-8th 2019 on the beautiful resort island of Bintan (Indonesia), around an hour’s ferry ride from Singapore (or a short drive from Tanjung Pinang Airport in Jakarta). This is the premier conference in the field of biomolecular and materials modelling and simulations in Australia, New Zealand, and South-East Asia, and aims to bring together an international audience, including from the UK, Europe, and USA, at all stages of their careers. It should prove to be a unique conference both in terms of its location and wide range of topics covered, including emerging areas such as AI in drug design, quantum computing, the interface between simulation and experiment, and education. There will be many opportunities for oral and poster presentations, with contributions from students and early-career researchers particularly welcome. For more information, please see here: https://mm2019.bii.a-star.edu.sg <https://mm2019.bii.a-star.edu.sg/> Best wishes, Peter Bond and Chandra Verma (mm2019(a)bii.a-star.edu.sg <mailto:mm2019@bii.a-star.edu.sg>) -- Andrej Sali, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences Associate Dean for Research, School of Pharmacy Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences University of California, San Francisco UCSF MC 2552 Byers Hall Room 503B 1700 4th Street San Francisco, CA 94143, USA Tel +1 (415) 514-4227; Fax +1 (415) 514-4231 Administrative Assistant: Steve Ha, assistant(a)salilab.org, Tel +1 (415) 514-4228, 502-8084 Email sali(a)salilab.org; Web http://salilab.org
