Overview
The Center for Fundamental Living Technology (FLinT) at the Department of Physics and Chemistry, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, offers a two year theory and computational modelling postdoctoral position starting 1 February 2011.
We are looking for a combined theorist and computational modeller for our international team. The applicant must have documented experience with state-of-the-art molecular and system level modelling as well as with more abstract complex systems techniques. Furthermore it is desirable, but not necessary, that the candidate is familiar with state-of-the-art protocellular models of photo- and/or redox driven metabolic processes, non-enzymatic nucleic acid replication as well as aggregate self-assembly and division processes.
The applicant needs to be highly motivated, open-minded and able to work in a highly interdisciplinary combined experimental and theoretical research team. Furthermore you need to be a team player and able to work independently.
Most of your work will be defined by the interrelated tasks in which the team is engaged as we seek to assemble a minimal self-replicating molecular machine. These tasks range from detailed issues with the observed processes and the instrumentation we use to an abstract understanding of the relation between the information, kinetics, and thermodynamics in our protocellular systems.
Applicant’s qualifications:
To qualify for the position, applicants must have a PhD in theoretical/computational chemistry, physics, applied mathematics, or related competencies, and have a strong track record of published peer reviewed papers (depending on years out of graduate school).
Previous experiences working in a team with a strong experimental engagement is highly desirable, as your work in the FLinT centre will occur in close collaboration with chemists and biologist.
Additional information is available from either Centre Director, Professor Steen Rasmussen, tel.: (+45) 6550 2507, e-mail: steen@ifk.sdu.dk or Administrative Head Lone Ladegaard Laursen, tel.: (+45) 6550 4436, e-mail: lol@sdu.dk.
Application, salary, etc.:
The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).
The application must contain:
• A cover letter
• A detailed CV
• A complete list of publications
• Information on previous teaching experience
• A brief summary of the most important research achievements as well as vision and plans for research in the position applied for (max 2-pages).
• Four signed letters of reference from esteemed scientists
In addition, a list of all of the above items must be enclosed, each enclosure being numbered and marked with the applicant’s name.
Applications will be assessed by a review committee headed by Professor Steen Rasmussen. Applicants will be informed about their assessment by the University. As part of the overall assessment of the applicant’s qualifications, an interview may be applied.
The University encourages all interested persons to apply, regardless of age, gender, religious affiliation or ethnic background.
Please send the application, marked job ID 10321, including relevant documents as mentioned above by e-mail (in Adobe PDF format or Word XP 2003 legible format) to pers@sdu.dk.
The deadline for the application is 22 December, 2010 at 12:00 hours (noon, local time).
