Computational study of folding and assembly of virus-like particles
Scientist (f/m) 50% part time / discipline physics or chemistry
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany |
Description
The Nanoscale and Biomolecular Simulation group
(
http://www.int.kit.edu/wenzel.php
) at the Institute of Nanotechnology is
seeking a scientist (f/m) for a DFG funded collaborative research project
on the development of novel vaccines for diseases such as cancer or HIV.
The idea is to modify virus capsids, so call virus like particles (VLP),
in such way that they stimulate the immune response against the targeted
disease.
The project involves working as part of an interdisciplinary team with the
final aim of computationally predict the folding and assembly properties
of the virus like particle after its constituent proteins have been
genetically modified to accomplish its purpose. You will develop and apply
computational models and simulation for protein structure prediction,
folding and assembly to help optimize the processing of the vaccine and
optimize its function. The project is carried out in close collaboration
with an experimental group that maintains and investigates an extensive
library of VLP. Our group is focused on the state of art computational
methods at the interface of physics, chemistry, biology and material
science.
In addition to the direct scientific work, this position offers the
possibility to earn a PhD.
Requirements
Applicants (f/m) are required to have completed a master degree at a
university in physics or chemistry or a related discipline with a
particular interest in Thermodynamics. Computer programming skills and
knowledge of molecular simulation methods are of great advantage.
Applicants are further required to be able to fluently communicate in the
English language.
Salary
Salary category 13, depending on the fulfillment of professional and
personal requirements.
