Computational Systems Biology Postdoctoral Position in Macromolecular Modeling and Protein Structure Prediction

Outstanding Postdoctoral applicants are sought in Computational Systems Biology to work with Professor Jeffrey Skolnick at the Georgia Tech Center for the Study of Systems Biology in the following areas:

   * Development of algorithms for the prediction of protein tertiary structure using both template based and template free approaches based on both knowledge and physics based force fields.
   * Development of algorithms for the prediction and refinement of GPCR structures.
   * Development of approaches to predict RNA-protein interactions.
   * Development of algorithms to minimize drug side effects
   * Application of the above to assist in the structure based annotation of proteomes


Highly creative, outstanding individuals with a background in biophysics, computational physics, or bioinformatics are sought with the following qualifications:

   * Demonstrated ability to do high quality research in protein structure prediction, RNA modeling, large scale biological simulations, Brownian Dynamics, bioinformatics, or computational genomics.
   * A track record of publication in high quality, international journals.
   * Ability to work in a team, yet think independently.
   * Extensive computer code development experience using languages such as Fortran, C, C++, and/or Perl.
