J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry of the CAS, v.v.i., for the purposes of the project "Lung surfactant under oxidative stress: molecular dynamics simulations and Langmuir film experiments" (Grant Agency of the Czech Republic, Reg. No. 17-06792S) offers:

POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW position: MOLECULAR MODELING OF OXIDIZED LUNG SURFACTANT

Research position in more details:

Job description:

The main task of the successful applicant will be the study the influence of oxidized lipid species on lipid films which model human lung surfactant. Both coarse grain and atomistic MD simulations will be used. The theoretical studies will be conducted in close internal and external collaboration with experimental groups.

More information concerning the job position are available from Dr. Lukasz Cwiklik (e-mail: lukasz.cwiklikjh-inst.cas.cz), the information about the group activities can be found at http://cwiklik.net

General requirements:

• Experience with molecular modelling, in particular with classical molecular dynamics simulations of biosystems
• PhD degree (current or to be obtained within 6 months) in chemistry, physics, biology or related fields
• Advanced level of written and spoken English
• Competencies necessary for team work

Specific requirements:

• Practical experience with MD simulations of lipid systems using GROMACS
• Experience with both atomistic and coarse grain simulations of biomolecules

Position starts: 1 January, 2019

Duration of the job: 12 months

Contract type: full-time job

Job location: J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry, Prague, Czech Republic

Documents required from the candidate:
