We are interested in candidates working in the following areas, but not only restricted to:
1. Macromolecular interactions (electrostatics, van der Waals, solvent structure, fundamental theory as well as simulations),
2. Physics of DNA (theory of condensation in confined spaces, statistical physics of hairpins and loops)
3. Physical virology (packing of RNA/DNA genomes, theory of recognition disorder and packaging signals)
Designed to attract the talented researchers in the world for working with the foreign professors in the 1000-talents program of Chinese government, each Fellowship provides a significant opportunity to conduct high-level research the UCAS.
