IRB Barcelona seeks an enthusiastic Postdoctoral Fellow to join our Molecular Modelling and Bioinformatics.

Our research focuses on the study of molecular recognition processes of biological significance from methodological and application points of view. The main subjects addressed are the structure of non-standard nucleic acids, the dynamic properties of macromolecules, and protein-ligand and protein-protein recognition.

This position is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme through the project MD4SB - Molecular Dynamics for Structure-based Biology (Grant Agreement No. 101292906)

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

We are looking for a candidate to work on coarse-grained simulations of disordered proteins (IDPs) and large nucleic acid structures, as well as on the development of trajectory compression techniques using deep learning methods.
