A postdoctoral position is available in 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).
Currently, we seek postdoctoral fellows in the following areas:
(1) RNA structure and design, where we
we employ graph theory methods, bioinformatics techniques,
and computational algorithms relevant to RNA;
see RNA, and
our RNA
database.
(2) Chromatin modeling, where we employ enhanced sampling techniques, coarse-grained
modeling, and chromatin biology
(see
Chromatin) and
(3) polymerase mechanisms, where we use atomistic molecular dynamics simulations,
enhanced sampling methods, and possibly quantum/molecular mechanics hybrid techniques,
(see
DNA Polymerases) may also be available.
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.
