Faísca.Specific calls for applications will be announced in this page.
Please check the FCT's
Advanced Fellowships and Grants funding schemes.
Post-doctoral fellowship, Computational Biophysics (PF1-2011) (CLOSED)
A postdoctoral position will be available from September 1 2011 for a period of 24 months, to work in simulations of protein folding with Dr. Patricia Faisca and members of her group. The successful candidate will explore fundamental aspects of protein folding with a plethora of computational methods ranging from lattice Monte Carlo simulations to atomistic off-lattice models explored with molecular dynamics simulations. This research is part of on-going collaborations of P. Faísca with Harvard University, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Warwick University.The successful candidate will be part of the Physics of Biological Systems group (http://physbio.cii.fc.ul.pt/PBS ), which is hosted by the Centre for Condensed Matter Physics of the University of Lisbon. Applicants should have a PhD degree in physics or biophysics, physical or theoretical chemistry and closely related areas, and experience in molecular simulations.
To apply please send a detailed CV, motivation letter and name of two references to:
