From: jobs at ccl.net (do not send your application there!!!) To: jobs at ccl.net Date: Wed Sep 26 14:35:13 2018 Subject: 18.09.26 PhD Positions in Computational Chemistry (Protein allostery/catalytic mechanisms) in Dallas, Texas, USA Applications are invited for Ph.D. positions in theoretical and computational chemistry Research Group directed by Professor Peng Tao at the Southern Methodist University (SMU), Dallas, Texas, USA (http://faculty.smu.edu/ptao). The Tao Research Group focuses on the methodology development and application related to protein allostery, protein catalytic mechanism evolution, machine learning and artificial intelligence in computational chemistry. The group has been productive in recent years with numerous research articles published on first class journals in computational chemistry and chemistry in general (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.; J. Chem. Theory Comput.; PLoS Comput Biol.; Protein Science, etc.). The Tao Research Group is highly competitive, and has successfully secured research grants from both National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health in the USA Federal Government. The High Performance Computer (HPC) Center of SMU provides outstanding computational facilities fully available to the research group. The Ph.D. student will work within the Tao Research Group as a vibrant, friendly and supportive research environment with great working conditions for the highest possible achievement in cutting edge research area. Each Ph.D. student will be supported through annual stipend of $25,000 and full tuition waiver. The Ph.D. student will be part of the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Ph.D. Degree program established at SMU, and carry out research activities fully under the supervision of Professor Tao. Potential candidates should be motivated and creative, with computational skills and solid background in physics, physical chemistry, and/or computational biology. Having a good knowledge of machine learning and programming skills is highly welcome. Candidates should preferably hold a bachelor or master in computational/theoretical chemistry/biology/physics. GRE is required for all applicants. A minimum score of 80 for TOEFL is required for candidates with English as second language.
