Potential candidates should have strong experience in computational studies and have solid understandings in Statistical Mechanics. Candidates who have experience in MD simulations of biological systems at molecular levels are preferred. People who are interested in this position should provide CVs, publication lists, at least two recommendation letters and one-page summaries of previous academic achievements and proposed future work. Your project in this lab will involve studies in the “prediction of catalytic rates for enzyme mutants” as well as in “revealing mechanical reasons for residue conservation”. This part of work is in collaboration with Dr Shakhnovich at Harvard and Dr Sharon Hammes-Schiffer at Penn State. The monthly salary will be no less than the NSC standard (~ 1800 USD) and adjustable according to one’s experience and work performance.
