We have hired one postdoc (located at the U. of Virginia) on the NIH-sponsored collaborative project to improve GROMACS robustness and functionality I emailed you about before. However, I am still recruiting one postdoctoral researcher to join my group here at CU Boulder. Perhaps you knew someone for whom this fall was not a good starting time, but January might be; we’d love to hear from them. As discussed before, the work on the Colorado side involves statistical physics to test and diagnose simulation validity, improving the testing framework, and new Monte Carlo methods. Strong software engineering skills are a must, and we would particularly appreciate active members of the molecular simulation development community. As always, members of groups under-represented in the molecular simulation field are especially encouraged to apply. Please refer anyone you think appropriate or have them apply at the link below. The Shirts research group in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is hiring a highly capable research associate to help develop the GROMACS molecular simulation package. GROMACS is an open-source project with a strong international development community as well as a 10,000+ user base. This position is part of a new NIH funded collaborative effort between the Shirts group and the Kasson group (at the University of Virginia) to improve the robustness, functionality, and usability of GROMACS, offering the candidate the opportunity to positively affect the work of thousands of researchers across the globe. Candidates will have the opportunity to learn state-of-the-art simulation methodology and work collaboratively with a global team of developers. This position requires a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science or a related field. It requires very strong statistical mechanical, molecular simulation and theoretical skills, as well as significant software engineering experience and ability. Experience in C++ and Python is preferred, as well as experience with version control, code review systems, and team-oriented software development. Competitive candidates will have a track record of scientific success in graduate study with a strong publication record.
