A postdoctoral position is available with Dr. Tamar Schlick's group at the NYU.
Research topics include biomolecular dynamics, simulations, protein and nucleic acid
structure and function. For a sampling of the group's
work, see Research.
Candidates should possess a Ph.D. in chemistry,
biophysics, computational mathematics, or related
fields and possess excellent computer and programming skills.
A solid background in simulation algorithms
and experience in advanced scientific computing are
highly desired, as is a solid background in chemistry
or biophysics (for the mathematical PhDs).
Specifically, we are currently seeking a postdoctoral fellow to perform
RNA research involving analysis of genomes, design of novel RNAs, and
modeling of ribosome motions. The aim of our research on genome analysis
and RNA design is to discover novel functional RNA molecules in
collaboration with experimentalists. We employ graph theory methods,
bioinformatics techniques, and computational algorithms relevant to RNA.
