Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biology/Biophysics at New York University



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. See our RNA database: http://www.biomath.nyu.edu/rna/rna.php.

Applications including full curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and 3 reference letters should be sent to: Dr. Tamar Schlick, Department of Chemistry and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, 251 Mercer Street, New York, NY 10012 USA.
