Hi, I decided to add a blog-like news section to the site and will try to update frequently. Let's start with something useful, a job announcement. My colleague Fabio Sterpone has the following position to fill:
A post-doc position is available starting from spring 2011. The candidate will work in the group of Dr. Fabio Sterpone in Paris, in the Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique (http://www-lbt.ibpc.fr/); the research will focus on the study of thermophilic proteins using computational methods.
The successful candidate must hold a PhD in Chemistry/Biophysics or related fields with a strong background in physical-chemistry/biophysics/statistical mechanics; an extensive expertise in computer simulations of biomolecules and/or liquids using Molecular Dynamics technique and free energy calculations is required. Proficiency in parallel computing and programming skills are also highly desirable.
The research focuses on (hyper)-thermophilic proteins, and investigates how hydration water couples to the protein surface to contribute to the thermal resistance of these proteins. Further details and related publications can be found at: http://www-lbt.ibpc.fr/LBT/index.php?page=sterpone&hl=en
The contract is renewable after the first year up to a total of three years. The position will be funded by the European Research Council via the ERC-Starting Grant Program IDEAS. The exact salary will depend on the candidates experience as evaluated by the French Centre National de la Recherche (CNRS) salary grid.
The Laboratoire de Biochimie Théorique is an internationally recognized laboratory with the mission of developing and applying computational methodologies to solve biological relevant problems. The members are active in the fields of docking, atomistic and coarse-grained simulations tackling problems as protein/protein and protein/DNA interactions, dynamics and function of membrane proteins, protein folding and aggregation.
Interested applicants should send a detailed CV and have three reference letters sent to:
Dr. Sterpone Fabio

Institut de Biologie et Physico-Chimique, Paris, France
