Dear Colleague,

I need your help identifying potential candidates for a postdoctoral research position in my lab in the Department of Chemistry at the University of New Orleans. If you have suitable candidates with experience in molecular simulations and/or molecular modeling who might be interested, please pass on the below information. Thanks so much for your valuable time.

Advertisement: I seek a postdoctoral candidate with experience in molecular simulations or molecular modeling to work on an exciting research project at the interface of chemistry, physics and biology. The research focuses on extending and applying molecular dynamics-based free energy methods for predicting binding between small molecules (such as potential pharmaceutical drugs) and protein receptors. For reference, see my published work in this area. An ideal candidate would have substantial background in molecular modeling, ideally including molecular dynamics simulations and/or Monte Carlo, including applications and methodology work. Experience with free energy techniques is also a plus. Interested applicants should send a cover letter plus a CV to dlmobley@uno.edu. Additionally, please have at least three letters of reference sent to the same address as well. All application materials should be received by Oct. 1, 2011. Prospective applicants are welcome to contact me for more information. The position will likely start in January, 2012.

The University of New Orleans, and the New Orleans area, provide exciting opportunities for work in this area. In addition to the Mobley Lab at UNO, we maintain close contacts with Steve Rick's group, also in Chemistry at UNO, and Chris Summa's experiment/theory group in Computer Science. Both labs have interests in molecular simulations, free energy calculations, and statistical mechanics. We also interact with the groups of Hank Ashbaugh and Lawrence Pratt at Tulane University and a variety of experimental collaborators.

Thank you so much.

Sincerely,

David Mobley
