Graduate Student and
POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS
in computational biochemistry
Positions are available studying the molecular mechanism of protein synthesis. The project is funded through an Alberta Ingenuity New Faculty Award.
The interdisciplinary approach used in our group combines quantitative biochemistry and biophysics with computational techniques to describe and study the dynamic properties of ribonucleoprotein complexes. The focus of this project will be on the development of dynamic three dimensional models that are experimentally validated. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a truly multidisciplinary research environment and to gain experience in the “wet-lab” as well as in the computational lab.
Experience with molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and biophysical (Spectroscopic) techniques will be helpful but not required. A background in computational biochemistry such as molecular dynamics and QM/MM approaches would be beneficial.
These positions are available starting immediately. Please send curriculum vitae, a letter of application, and 3 references to:
