The Institute for Advanced Simulations – Computational Biomedicine (INM-9) at the Jülich Research Center uses and develops high performance computing-based multiscale simulations to investigate key molecular events for neuronal function and dysfunction. For this purpose, we work closely with the subinstitute IAS-5.

Within the the DFG Research Group “Functional Dynamics of ion channels and transporters – DynIon”, we are currently searching for qualified candidates with solid background in molecular dynamics, free energy calculations and statistical mechanics applied to biological systems.

• Completed study (Master) in computational chemistry, biochemistry, physics or related fields
• PhD degree in the above-mentioned fields
• Demonstrated scientific track record (publications, conference participations)
• Expertise in force field-based MD simulations and Quantum Mechanics / Molecular Mechanics
• Experience with Linux-based systems and (preferred) high performance computing
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in an international, interdisciplinary team
• Very good communication and organizational skills
• Fluency in English language in written and spoken form
