Deadline: August 1, 2022
The Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at the Uppsala University in Sweden is inviting applications for two Research Positions in Computational Biochemistry. They are seeking to recruit two (2) Postdoctoral researchers to work on several research projects in the Research unit of Johan Åqvist and Hugo Gutiérrez de Terán.
The research will mainly focus on computer simulations of enzyme reactions, ligand binding and membrane-protein mediated signal transduction. Selected Postdoctoral researchers will work in collaboration with several experimental groups.
You will work on current projects that involve the computational analysis of enzyme evolution and adaptation as well as mechanistic characterization of signal transduction through G-protein-coupled receptors and software development. Specialized research work will focus:
- Molecular dynamics and QM/MM computer simulations.
- Free energy calculations.
- Molecular docking.
- Bioinformatics analysis and modelling of protein structure.
- Software development.
Benefits
Accepted applicants will be eligible for the following benefits
- The University will offer an employment contract of Two (2) Years to the selected Researchers.
- This will be a 100% Full time employment.
- The position comes with all the benefits of working in Sweden including Health Insurance, Paid Holidays, Wellbeing Support and Parental Leave.
