Post-doc in computational biophysics of genome editing systems Date 2021-08-15

Location University of California Riverside (greater Los Angeles area)

Description A post-doctoral position is available in the Palermo lab in the field of computational biophysics and Molecular Dynamics (MD).

Our lab specializes in computational methods based on MD, with applications to understanding and improving key genome editing systems, including but not limited to CRISPR-Cas9.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to employ and develop advanced computational techniques, such as conventional MD, enhanced sampling methods, QM/MM approaches, graph-theory-based analysis, and Markov State Models. Expertise in coarse-grained methods is especially welcome as the lab is expanding in this area.

This position involves collaboration with experimental scientists at UCR, UC Berkeley, and UC San Diego.

Applicants should be motivated to learn and develop unconventional computational approaches.
