Curie Action: Molecular Basis of Antibiotics Translocation
General Announcement
Local opportunities:
We are searching for a 1 year Post-doc within the framework of the EU-marie Curie
Research Training Network 'MRTN-CT-019335 Translocation'. The position is available
immediately and requires an expertise in molecular simulations applied to biological systems.
The work will focus principally on MD simulations at classical level, Free energy calculations
and Kinetic Monte Carlo, and eventually QM/MM calculations.
Skills on unix system, parallel computing and scientific languages are a prerequisite.
Due to the nature of the project, it is expected a strong interaction with the other
groups of the network, so research periods in the other laboratories of the network are strongly raccomended and required.
We are searching for a PhD student within the framework of the EU-marie Curie
Research Training Network 'MRTN-CT-019335 Translocation'. The position will
start at the end of 2006, according to the PhD school starting date, and will
last a maximum of 3 year. This period is required to obtain the PhD in Physics
from the University of Cagliari. The PhD school is organized as follow:
-3 year of research with a written dissertation and final discussion;
-1 year of lectures (tipically the first year);
-seminars, tutoring and conferences, needed to accumulate additional credits.
The work will focus principally on problems connected to the interactions
between antibiotics and proteins. Tools for these studies will be MD simulations at
classical level, free energy calculations and Kinetic Monte Carlo, as weel as
QM/MM calculations. Skills on unix system, parallel computing and scientific
languages are welcome.
