Postdoctoral position in Biological Physics
The BioModeling, BioInformatics & BioProcesses lab of the Free University of Brussels (ULB) invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the field of biological physics. The appointment will be initially for a period for 18 months starting between January and March 2019, financed by the FNRS Fund for Scientific Research, with the possibility of extension through an FNRS postdoctoral research grant or a Marie Curie EC grant. The candidate can not have lived in Belgium for more than 18 months in the last 3 years.
Possible research subjects include:
- Protein folding, stability and aggregation, and how these biophysical characteristics are related to disease mechanisms, using the statistical potential formalism.
- Stochastic modeling of biological systems, with the focus on noise modulation, in the context of non-equilibrium thermodynamics
- Charge migration in DNA and its connection with transcription and translation mechanisms, mutability and disease, using quantum chemistry calculations
Required:
- PhD degree in Sciences (Physics, (Bio)Informatics, Chemistry).
- Good programming and computer science skills.
- Good communication skills in English.
- Good publication record in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
