A postdoc position is open in Wei Wang's group (http://wanglab.ucsd.edu) in
Department of Chemistry and Biochemsitry at University of California, San Diego. 
An ideal candidate should obtain Ph.D. in computational chemistry/biophysics/biology, 
is highly motivated and has extensive experience with computer modeling 
such as molecular dynamics simulation, free energy calculation, force field
development, homology modeling and entropy calculation. Solid background in
physics and statistics is required. Proficient programing skills are 
essential. Experience with AMBER is a plus.
 
Our group is focused on studying the mechanisms of protein recognition. We 
are particularly interested in peptide recognition domains including SH3 
and SH2 domains. We have taken interdisciplinary approaches that combine 
computer modeling and bioinformatics analysis to predict the binding 
specificity of these modular domains. We have also applied the similar 
approaches to predicting mutations of the HIV-1 protease that cause drug 
resistance. The expected postdoc will be responsible for developing new 
computational methods to tackle these challenging problems.

Interested applicants should send CV and statement of research to 
wei-wang~!~ucsd.edu. Please also arrange three letters of recommendation 
sent directly to the above email address.
