Post-Doctoral
We are searching for highly motivated and driven individuals looking for research opportunities in a wide variety of research within the general realm of computational chemistry. Current topics of interest to the PI include:
1. Development, Testing, Coding, Application of Polarizable Force Fields
2. Exploration of Aqueous Liquid-Vapor Interfaces via Molecular Dynamics Simulations Using Polarizable and Non-Polarizable Force Fields
3. Studies of Properties of Lipid Membranes arising from application of Polarizable Force Fields
4. Protein-Ligand Binding
5. Hardware-Based Acceleration of Molecular Dynamics Simulations with particular focus on GPU Cards
6. Development of Charge Transfer Force Fields
7. Investigation of Phase-Dependent Polarization Effects and Implications for Interfacial Systems
Candidates should send a C.V. and the names and email addresses of 3 (three) individuals in the capacity of mentors, advisors, etc. The candidates should have a strong background in statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, molecular modeling (MD, MC, ab initio / DFT ). Ideal candidates would have equal strengths in MD and ab initio methods with proven track record of publshing in both areas; particular focus on biophysical research topics are highly desirable. Strong programming skills (Unix, Linux, C++, Fortran, Perl, Python, shell scripting) are required.
Interested applicants are encouraged to initiate contact via email: sapatel{at}udel.edu
Appointments can begin immediately and will initially be for one year.
