A Postdoctoral position is open in the Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Medicine (CABM) at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in Piscataway, NJ.
This funded research project involves development of new computational methods for modeling protein structures combining NMR data together with advanced modeling methods.
The successful candidate will participate in projects using energy force fields, molecular dynamics, and novel conformational sampling techniques, combining NMR, SAXS, EPR, bioinformatics, and other experimental data to produce structural models of proteins. They would also lead our program on methods development for protein NMR structure assessment and validation.
The successful candidate will also be trained in NMR data collection and analysis. The successful candidate will work jointly with the Nanda and Montelione groups to advance methods for molecular modeling using NMR data, and in applying structural biology, protein design, and bioinformatics methods to advance our understanding of prebiotic evolution. Specific goals include determining 3D structures and dynamics of proteins from sparse NMR and evolutionary sequence co-variance data, and structural analysis of proteins produced using de novo design methods.
