Postdoctoral Researcher in Potassium Ion Channels

We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher to join our team in investigating the molecular mechanisms of potassium ion channel function and modulation.

This is an exciting opportunity for a researcher with a strong background in computation in biophysics, condensed matter physics, or physical chemistry to contribute to our research project.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Conduct advanced molecular dynamics simulations using existing packages such as NAMD/VMD and CHARMM to study potassium ion channels.
  • Develop and apply statistical mechanical theory and free energy methods to understand ion channel conduction, inactivation, and modulation mechanisms.
  • Collaborate with experimental researchers in cryo EM and electrophysiology to integrate computational results with experimental data.
  • Contribute to the development of new research projects and publications.
Requirements:
  • PhD in physics, physical chemistry, or a closely related discipline.
  • Research background in computation in biophysics, condensed matter physics, or physical chemistry.
  • Experience in atomistic simulations of membrane protein systems, particularly ion channels.
  • Strong skills in supercomputing, programming/scripting in a Unix environment, and MD scripting for advanced simulations and analysis.
  • Ability to work well with experimental collaborators and achieve high-impact publications.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
What We Offer:

A dynamic and supportive research environment with opportunities for professional growth and development.

Access to state-of-the-art computational facilities and equipment.

The chance to collaborate with leading experimental researchers in cryo EM and electrophysiology.

Excellent career possibilities for a talented and driven researcher.
