PhD Student or Postdoc | Non-equilibrium theory and atomistic simulations of complex biomolecules

Develop theory and computational methods for complex biomolecular systems in Helmut Grubmüller’s group. Topics include variational free-energy methods, solvation-shell thermodynamics, constant-pH simulations and Markovian thermodynamics, with applications to ribosomes, fatty-acid synthase, CRISPR systems and intrinsically disordered proteins. Doctoral appointments initially last three years and postdoctoral appointments two years, with extension possible; remuneration follows TVöD. Start dates are flexible and applications remain open until filled.

A master’s degree for doctoral entry or a doctorate for postdoctoral entry in physics, mathematics or a related subject, with interest in computational molecular biophysics, statistical mechanics or scientific computing. English is required; German is not. The source provides the email application procedure.
