A postdoctoral research position is available in the group of Prof. Adrian Mulholland at the University of Bristol, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Project PREDACTED. The project focuses on applying computational chemistry and molecular simulation methods to investigate enzyme dynamics, activity, and inhibition, with a particular focus on enzymes involved in antibiotic resistance.
You will develop and apply molecular simulation methods to model protein dynamics and interactions, including the development of machine learning-based methods. Your work will involve simulating enzyme complexes, testing ligand binding effects, analyzing mutations, and contributing to enzyme and inhibitor design, in collaboration with experimental biochemists and structural biologists.
You are a motivated computational molecular scientist with a PhD in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related field, with expertise in computational chemistry, molecular simulation, and machine learning. This position offers experience in simulation methods, data analysis, high-performance computing, and collaboration with experimental research.
We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
