Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Chemical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. We are searching for a highly motivated and driven individual looking for research opportunities in molecular biophysics and simulations in a collaborative environment.

This individual working in this position will be involved with two NSF-sponsored grants, both dealing with the simulations of biomolecular structures, with especial emphasis on atomistic simulations of biomembranes and transmembrane proteins. Knowledge and experience on coarse-‐grained models and simulations are also highly beneficial. Because of the collaborative nature of the project, the individual will closely interact with experimentalists and other modelers. The candidate should have a strong background in biophysics, biomolecular modeling, and statistical mechanics. Computational skills (Unix/Linux, C, C++, Fortran, Fortran90, Perl, Python, shell scripting) are highly desirable, including expertise on molecular dynamics simulations, parallel computations, and visualization. Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a science or engineering field, with demonstrated potential for exceptional research. The successful candidate must demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication
abilities. Appointment for this position will commence immediately and will be initially for one year with the possibility of renewal for additional years.

Interested applicants are encouraged to send a curriculum vita, including the name and email of three references, via email to Professor Amadeu K. Sum (asum@mines.edu).
