Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland CHARMM-GUI Full time
Company Overview

CHARMM-GUI is a leading organization in the field of computational biophysics, leveraging atomic-level simulations to drive groundbreaking research. Our team consists of experts who work collaboratively to advance the understanding of complex biological systems.

Job Description

We are seeking highly motivated researchers to join our team as postdoctoral scientists or PhD students. The successful candidates will contribute to cutting-edge projects focused on membrane-associated receptors/proteins, exploring how their dynamics and activation are modulated, and how impairment of these modulation mechanisms compromises function and can be rectified.

The projects are strongly coupled to collaborations with first-class experimental teams and aim to provide valuable insights into abundant diseases, including type 2 diabetes, mitochondrial diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and impairment of the biological barrier function related to lung function impairment (ARDS, Covid-19, etc.).

Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Experience in computer simulations, particularly molecular dynamics simulations (with GROMACS, NAMD, etc.) and other simulation techniques (DFT, QM/MM, DPD, SRD, LB, etc.) on atomistic and coarse-grained levels.
  • Recent PhD (postdoc positions) or MSc (PhD student positions) degrees in fields of biological physics, biophysics, soft matter and stat mech, (bio)physical chemistry, machine learning, computational drug design and discovery, or related fields.
Benefits

The successful candidates will have access to outstanding computing resources, including the national supercomputing center and pre-exascale computing capacity LUMI. They will also be part of a collaborative and dynamic team that fosters innovation and creativity. We offer a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research and develop your skills in a supportive environment.

Apart from this, Finland is one of the safest countries worldwide, with beautiful nature, clean air, and an excellent healthcare system. Everyone in our international team has the right to telecommute, making it an ideal location for those seeking a work-life balance.
