We currently have two positions open in our group:
(1) A PhD position (4yr) on resolving the molecular driving forces behind the switching behavior of light harvesting complexes. Together with experimental colleagues, we would like to unravel the role of PsbS, an important protein that is involved in the switching (which occurs under high light conditions). If you are not afraid of teaming up with experimentalists (these are nice ones, I promise) and running large scale simulations, this is your chance. We might even end up modeling a whole chloroplast !
(2) A post-doc position (2yr) on development of titratable Martini, aimed at improving the model and extending the application range. Our recently introduced method to enable constant pH Martini simulations opens the way to extend Martini into unknown territories, including reactive-Martini. If you would like to be the main explorer, then consider applying.
For both positions, a solid background in computational modeling is required. Interested ? Apply by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

Both positions are available right away, and ideally start before the end of the year.

he forthcoming Martini 3.0 forcefield opens the way to high-throughput drug screening. Unbiased simulations show reversible binding of a large variety of ligands to both soluble and membrane-embedded proteins, reproducing known pathways and binding sites, as well as correct binding free energies.
