If you know of suitable candidates from your group or other, please encourage them to apply. I attach the position description, which will also be posted on ccl.net<http://ccl.net> in the next few days. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. With the best wishes Olaf Wiest Postdoctoral position in the CAMD core at the University of Notre Dame Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in the Computer Aided Molecular Design core facility at the University of Notre Dame. The successful candidate will work with researchers in the Warren Family Center for Drug Discovery, the Center for Rare and Neglected Diseases, and other researchers at the University of Notre Dame as well as their collaborators to design chemical probes molecules as well as new hit and lead compounds to a treatment of a variety of diseases. Current areas of interest include malaria and other infectious diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. The initial appointment will be for one year with additional years, including a possibility to apply for a staff position, available upon mutual agreement. Requirements for the position include: - Ph.D in chemistry, biophysics or other relevant field - documented experience in virtual screening, molecular dynamics simulation of biomolecular systems and/or structure based drug design - ability to support multiple projects simultaneously - ability to work independently and in effective collaborations with medicinal chemists, biochemists and biologists - excellent verbal and written communication skills Previous experience with common programs (Schrödinger Suite, AMBER, G09 etc.), electronic structure calculations, library design, cheminformatics, good programming skills and other aspects of computer aided drug design as well as an understanding of the drug discovery process would be beneficial. To apply, send a CV, statement of research experience and contact addresses of three references to owiest@nd.edu<mailto:owiest@nd.edu>. For information on the CAMD core, see http://www3.nd.edu/~camd/.
