Begin forwarded message: From: "Bowman, Greg" <bowman@biochem.wustl.edu<mailto:bowman@biochem.wustl.edu>> Subject: postdoc positions Date: August 21, 2014 11:25:53 AM PDT To: "Jacobson, Matt" <Matt.Jacobson@ucsf.edu<mailto:Matt.Jacobson@ucsf.edu>> Dear Matt, Would you mind sharing this brief ad with anyone in your group who might be looking for a postdoctoral position in computational biophysics? I’m currently looking for postdocs who share my passion for understanding the physical mechanisms of protein conformational changes, their role in signaling, and how they are modulated by drugs and mutations. We are currently working to understand and combat the evolution of antibiotic resistance, to understand the phototransduction signaling cascade and the effects of mutations associated with blinding diseases, and to develop new methods for extending the timescales accessible to molecular simulation. Connecting with experiment is a high priority, so much so that we’ll be conducting our own biophysical experiments to test predictions. There is certainly no requirement that everyone do experiments though. We’re located at the medical school at Washington University in St Louis. For those who think this if fly-over territory, I highly recommend you take another look. Forest Park offers amazing science, art, and history museums as well as a zoo and concerts (all of which are free!). We also have an outstanding food scene and the cost of living is a welcome change from other metropolitan areas. Interested candidates should contact me via email at bowman@biochem.wustl.edu<mailto:bowman@biochem.wustl.edu> and include their CV and a brief (one page or less) description of a project they might like to pursue in my lab. This research description is meant to give me a sense of your interests and the way you think, it is not a binding commitment to a specific project. Thanks for your time. Greg — Gregory R.
