Researcher in Computational Chemistry

Welcome to Linnaeus University! A place for knowledge, ideas and development. For growth potential and a belief in the future. In Småland and in the world.

 

The research area and duties
The Computational Chemistry and Biochemistry Group (CCBG) uses computer modelling and simulations to study problems within biomedicine and physical chemistry, including modelling of drug resistance in cancer, macromolecule-ion interactions and simulations of solutions. We seek a highly motivated, experienced computational chemist to support our efforts in disease-relevant molecular modelling. We offer a rich research environment, competitive salary and access to state-of-the-art computational fascilities.

Qualifications
Applicants should hold a PhD in chemistry or a related subject with specialisation in computational or theoretical chemistry, biochemistry or biophysics. Fluency in written and oral English, and proven experience in the running and analysis of molecular dynamics simulations under Linux or Unix is essential. Programming experience and familiarity with shell scripting is an advantage. Experience in quantum chemistry is also an advantage.

Terms of employment
Full-time, 100%, one year fixed term, starting 15.08.2017. The position may be extended upon mutual interest and availability of funding.

Location, until further notice
Department of Chemistry and Biomedical Sciences in Kalmar, Sweden
