The Center for Computing in Engineering and Sciences (CCES) at UNICAMP is seeking to fill 4 postdoctoral positions in the area of molecular dynamics simulations, under the supervision of Prof. Munir S. Skaf and/or Prof. Leandro Martínez, of the Institute of Chemistry of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP).
The CCES is one of the Research, Innovation, and Dissemination Centers (CEPIDs) supported by FAPESP.
The projects involve one or more of the following activities:
- Investigating the structure, dynamics, and reaction mechanisms of enzymes involved in carbohydrate degradation.
- Understanding solvent effects in proteins and other macro-molecules: in their aggregation, interaction with ligands, catalytic activity, and structural properties.
- Implementing software for data analysis from simulations.
Candidates must hold, at the moment of the implementation of the fellowship,* a Ph.D. in chemistry, physics, biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, or related areas. Solid experience in molecular dynamics simulations is essential. For those interested in software development, programming experience is crucial, and knowledge of the Julia programming language is welcome.
The scholarships, amounting to R$ 12,000.00 per month, will be awarded starting from October 1, 2024, or when the candidate is available, with a planned duration until May 2026. Benefits include a Technical Reserve, equivalent to 10% of the annual scholarship amount, to be spent directly on research activities.
The fellowship covers travelling and initial accommodation expenses for selected candidates.
*applications of PhD candidates are welcome.
