Subject: 08.10.09 Joint postdoc (Boston Uni/Heidelberg Uni): molecular simulation of muscle proteins
A Postdoctoral Fellow is sought to investigate the molecular mechanisms
of regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle contraction.
Molecular Dynamics simulations of troponin and tropomyosin interacting
with actin will be used to understand how these regulatory proteins
control contractile activity.
Applicants must have extensive experience with MD simulations of
macromolecules. Knowledge of CHARMM and NAMD, and a keen interest
in conformational change in proteins are welcome.
Willingness to spend extensive periods abroad is required, since the
project is jointly sponsored by Dr. William Lehman at the
Boston University School of Medicine (Department of Physiology and
Biophysics) and by Dr. Stefan Fischer at Heidelberg University
(Institute for Scientific Computing, IWR). Candidates are expected to
commit to this position for a minimum of 3 years.
Applicants should contact Dr. William Lehman by email (wlehman[]bu.edu)
and send their CV along with three references.
The research of Drs. Lehman and Fischer is summarized on their home pages:
