About the Opportunity
RMIT University is seeking an exceptional postdoctoral researcher or PhD graduate to investigate the molecular mechanisms of potassium ion channel function and modulation.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on an exciting project that aims to describe potassium channel conduction, inactivation, and modulation mechanisms using advanced molecular dynamics methods and analysis.
The project will involve the study of BK (Big-conductance K), MthK, and KcsA potassium channels, and the expected outcome is an improved description of fundamental mechanisms of ion channel function and how these proteins respond to physiological and/or pharmacological stimuli to control electrical signalling in the body.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct advanced molecular dynamics simulations of potassium ion channels
- Analyse simulation data to understand the mechanisms of potassium channel function and modulation
- Collaborate with experimental researchers in cryo EM and electrophysiology
- Prepare high-quality research papers and presentations
- Work independently and as part of a team to achieve high-impact research outcomes
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
- Strong programming skills in Unix environment and experience with MD scripting
- Good molecular visualisation skills and experience in using enhanced sampling methods
