Job No: 502937
Work Type: Staff
Location: Newark, DE
Categories: Research & Laboratory, Full Time
CONTEXT OF THE JOB:
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is a nationally
ranked, research-intensive unit with over $25 million dollars of
research-grade instrumentation including spectrometers (nuclear
magnetic resonance, mass, optical, x-ray), chromatographs (gas and
liquid), vacuum equipment (pumps, chambers) and laboratory
equipment (analytical balances, centrifuges, motors, refrigeration
and other temperature-controlled devices, etc.).
The primary function of this position is to conduct research
regarding the molecular architecture of the HIV virus in the group
of Prof. Juan R. Perilla (http://biophysics.chem.udel.edu). The
U.S. National Institutes of Health-funded projects are focused on
the design, development, and execution of computer simulations of
system related to the maturation of the HIV-1 virus. Preference
will be given to applications with expertise in 1) protein
dynamics; 2) molecular dynamics simulations; and 3)
high-performance computing environments. Prior programming
experience is preferred but not required. The postdoctoral
scientist will design, perform, and develop new scientific tools
for the analysis of long-time and/or large-scale molecular dynamics
simulations in collaboration with the PI. The postdoctoral
scientist will also collaborate with structural biologists (Yale
University and virologist (Vanderbilt University). The selected
candidate will participate in the development, testing and
implementation of novel computational methods that incorporate
experimental data and the preparation of technical reports and
peer-reviewed publications; and the dissemination of project
results at professional meetings. Potential applicants are strongly
encouraged to contact Juan R. Perilla (biophysics@udel.edu) prior
to submission. Candidates should submit a CV and the names, phone
numbers and email addresses of three references through the
University of Delaware Jobs website. The initial appointment is for
one year with the possibility of renewal. Review of applications
will begin immediately and will continue until the position is
filled.
