[gmx-users] Postdoc and PhD positions in Denmark

[Himanshu Khandelia]

Dear All

A PhD and Postdoc position are opening at our center. Following is the advertisement. Starting data: as soon as possible.

–––––––––––––––––––––––
A PhD position (3 years) and a postdoctoral position (2+ years) in simulations of membranes and membrane proteins are available at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense immediately in the group of Dr. Himanshu Khandelia (www.memphys.sdu.dk/~hkhandel). The successful candidate will work in a highly collaborative atmosphere at the Center for Biomembrane Physics MEMPHYS (www.memphys.sdu.dk) together with theorists and experimental scientists. 

For the postdoc position, experience with computer (molecular dynamics) simulations is highly beneficial. The successful candidate(s) will have access to the DCSC-funded “Horseshoe” super-cluster of more than 2000 processors at SDU (Odense, Denmark) to perform their simulations.

Candidates with background in (bio)physics, engineering, computational sciences and (bio)physical chemistry are all encouraged to apply. Applications, in PDF format, including full CV, diplomas, proof of proficiency in English, and names of referees should be sent to Dr. Khandelia. hkhandel at memphys.sdu.dk. Please mention LUNDBECK in the title of the application. 

The projects revolve around molecular simulations of biomembrane-associated phenomena, including simulations of ion transport.
