Postdoctoral Scientist - Structural Studies - Dr Joe Greener - LMB 2633

MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology

Cambridge, United Kingdom

We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist to join the group of Joe Greener to undertake research in computational protein design. This will involve developing molecular simulation methods to optimise sequences for a variety of design tasks. Ensemble reweighting and alchemical simulation techniques will be used to design proteins; a particular focus is binding flexible regions and antibody design, which are challenging for current machine learning approaches.

You will become an early member of a friendly, multi-disciplinary team. The project will involve significant coding using the Julia package Molly.jl on both CPU and GPU, as well as addressing relevant computational and algorithmic questions. You will become an expert in molecular dynamics methods and relevant protein design techniques. You have a PhD in a relevant subject, or are due to complete within 6 months, and have experience in coding. Previous experience with either protein design, molecular dynamics or machine learning will be an advantage.

This is a three-year training and development position suitable for you if you have recently completed your doctoral studies, or you are looking to move into a new research discipline and/or need to further develop your research skills. Working with our world class scientists you will be working in an Institute renowned for its excellent scientific facilities and high-quality research.
