PhD Scholarship in Multi-Scale Biomolecular Simulation, University of Cambridge

Overview


Applications are invited for a BBSRC-funded PhD studentship to work on biomolecular simulation. Many important biological processes depend upon the motions of macromolecules. This project will involve the use of computational approaches to understand such motions, particularly in the context of molecular recognition and signalling. You will have the opportunity to apply a variety of state-of-the-art in silico methods in order to understand the dynamical behaviour of macromolecular assemblies, including all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, multi-scale modelling, and free-energy approaches. The project will yield information relevant to human disease and therapeutic strategies. We are looking for enthusiastic candidates with a background in either the biological or physical sciences. Some experience of simulation methods is desirable but NOT essential.

Applicants should have (or expect to obtain) at least the equivalent of a UK II.1 honours degree in a relevant scientific discipline. The studentship will cover tuition fees and an annual maintenance grant for EU nationals who satisfy the eligibility requirements of the UK Research Councils. Owing to Research Council restrictions, the studentship is not available to non-EU nationals.


* Limit of tenure: 3 years.

Closing date: 28 February 2011.

The studentship is available from October 2011. Applications should include a CV, contact details for two professional referees, and should be sent (preferably by email) to Dr Peter Bond, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, Cambridge CB2 1EW (email: pjb91@cam.ac.uk).
