OPPORTUNITIES
Always looking for talented postdocs
Actively looking for exceptional candidates to join our kinetic modeling/bioenergetics/methane metabolism team. Candidates should send their CV and a description of their research interests by email. The following projects are listed in order of priority for hiring.
Multiscale Responsive Kinetic Modeling (MsRKM)
MsRKM is a non-equilibrium kinetic modeling framework that integrates simulation and experimental data to describe equilibrium, steady-state, and non-equilibrium processes. Our current focus is on electrochemically driven transport, making the approach particularly well suited for studying channels and transporters—one of our most exciting research directions. This project will involve both methodological development and application to ion channels and transporters initially, with the potential to expand to a wide range of additional processes over time.
The ideal candidate will have prior exposure to kinetic modeling (e.g., microkinetic models, systems biology models, Monte Carlo kinetic modeling, or Markov state models), as well as simulations, enhanced sampling techniques, and machine learning. Familiarity with channels, transporters, and/or bioenergetics (PCET) is a plus.
Multiscale Simulations for Methane Conversion
This project investigates the roles of membranes in the uptake, delivery, and oxidation of methane by pMMO. The work will involve large-scale molecular simulations, enhanced sampling methods, and potentially multiscale techniques such as reactive MD and/or QM/MM, enabling mechanistic insights across relevant spatial and temporal scales.
The ideal candidate will have experience with molecular dynamics and familiarity with some of the advanced methods noted above, with opportunities for further training fully supported. An interest in applying machine-learning approaches is also welcome.
